Extended End Plate Moment Connection

End Plate Moment Connection

This connection is the end plate moment connection. It is made by shop-welding a plate to the end of a beam and field-bolting it to a column or to another beam. The four bolts around the tension flange transmit the flange force into the column. Additional bolts may be needed in deeper sections. A bolt may also be added near the neutral axis of the beam to prevent gaps between the plates.
