Comparative Analysis of Beam-to-Column End-Plate Bolted, Riveted and Welded Connections
Abstract: This piece of work aims at the modeling and using the finite-element method approach (FEM) to analyze the structures with bolted, riveted and welded column to beam end-plate connection in the structural steel framework subjected to static loading. A detailed 3D simulation model of the bolted, riveted and welded beam-to-column end-plate connections is constructed in PRO-E wildfire version 5.0 and it is analyzed in the ANSYS workbench version 14.0 to …

High Strength Bolt Tightening and Verification Techniques for Steel Connections: In-Depth Study and National Survey
Abstract: The current means and methods of verifying that high strength bolts have been properly tightened is very laborious and time consuming. In some cases, the techniques require special equipment and in other cases the verification itself may be somewhat subjective. While some commercially available verification techniques do exist, there are drawbacks such as being costly, time-consuming, and impractical to use in the field. The main objectives of this project were …
