The simulated tri-linear hysteresis characteristics of the models with circular and square bolt pattern are<br />

presented in pair in this section. Close examination of the results presented reveal that in majority of the<br />

cases, using the circular bolt pattern may improve the moment capacity, stiffness, ductility, and eventually<br />

the overall energy dissipation of the connection.<br />
