This study seeks to investigate the failure mechanism and the subsequent prediction of the moment capacity of a ten bolt flush end plate connection. The model under study is typical of a flush end plate connection present in an existing steel parking deck. Yield line analysis methods have been employed in analyzing the various failure mechanisms and have been used in developing prediction equations for the design of the end-plate. The modified Kennedy method has also been used in the prediction of the bolt forces for all cases of the analysis with failed bolts. A three dimensional finite element model using ABAQUS Standard has been employed to validate the results from the analytical methods taking into consideration, the interactions between the connection components, boundary conditions and material non-linearities. The moment capacity and the corresponding failure mechanism is predicted under two cases of bolt loss in rows of the connection. Limit state of end plate yielding governs the design for the ten bolt connection and that with one row of bolt failure at the top. Bolt fracture governs the design when there are two rows of failed bolts. 2010-08-19 English text University of Akron / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=akron1279715068 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=akron1279715068 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
