Figure 4-17 Failure Of Bolts In The Extended End-Plate Connection<br />

4.5.2.3 Bolted/Bolted Double Web Angle Connection<br />

To model the behavior of the bolted/bolted double web angle connection under cyclic loading, a hot-<br />

rolled W24x104 cantilever beam was connection to a hot-rolled W14x159 column. This test specimen<br />

was bolted to both the beam web and the column flange using two 15 in. L5x5x¾ on both side of the web,<br />

as shown in Figure 4-18. The dimensions and the material properties of the elements were discussed in<br />

detail in Chapter-3. This finite element model is validated with the experimental results. Figure 4-19<br />

shows a 3-D finite element model of the bolted/bolted double web angle connection. The hysteresis<br />

results illustrated in Figure 4-19 shows a good correlation between the moment-curvature hysteresis<br />

obtained from the experimental testing and finite element analysis.<br />
