Case Study for Bolted T-Stub Connection Design

This paper is mainly performed to investigate T-stub connection that is described on the basis of ideal strength limit states. The determination of T-stub based on the full plastic strength of the steel beam in accordance with 2005 AISC Seismic Provisions. The T-stub connections considered herein were performed to include the T-stub component of bolted moment connection frames. Therefore, the proposed T-stub models will be evaluated by comparing the required factored bar strength. T-stub components using ten high strength bolts with wider gages are demonstrated in this design. In addition, equations for connection design will be described in this paper. Finally, new design methodology is applied to T-stub connections suggested in this study.
