Preface
Guide 4 Extended End-Plate Moment ConnectionsSeismic and Wind Applications published in 2004 and AISC Design Guide uis u sadux uisp pe sampad uisap o pue uoed e sapu n s s16 Flausht and Extended Mulriple-Row Moment End-Plare Connections published in 2002. Since Design Guides 4 and 16 wereplate moment connections much of which has been incorporated into this Design Guide. In addition the number of end-plate written a large volume of research has been conducted and literature has been published on the analysis and design of end-configurations has been expanded from the 10 configurations in Design Guides 4 and 16 to 15 in this Design Guide. This Design Guide has an extensive literature review an overview of design concepts a review of the use of yield line analysis to determinewind and lw-seismicductility design and three examles for high-seismicductility design. end-plate strength and design procedures for determining required bolt strength. It also includes 15 design examples for gravity.
