Extended end-plate moment connection

Welding of Endplate with Beam
Beam forces are transferred to the endplate through welding, which, in
turn, transfers the forces to column through bolts. Therefore, proper
welding is extremely important for an endplate connection.

Cross-Girder

‰ Beam moment from one side is transferred to other side, cross beam is
not significantly affected.
‰ Cross girder acts like a continuous support only.
‰ Top plate is essentially a tension member and designed that way.

Design Considerations:
1. Concentric Compressive Axial Loads:
Usually the case of gravity loading
where moments due to gravity
loading (D + L) can be neglected.
2. Tensile Axial Loads: Typically related
to lateral loading conditions e.g.
wind or earthquake load on lattice
towers.
3. Base Plates with Small Moments:
Most common condition for
buildings (specially braced
buildings) that arises due to gravity
loading.
4. Base Plates with Large Moments:
Typically the condition where lateral
load is acting in combination with
gravity loading.
5. Design for Shear: Mainly due to
lateral load
