Studying on the Tension Distribution of High Strength Bolted Endplate Connections

Abstract:

The tension distribution of high-strength bolted extended endplate connections does not have unified regulations in china, the assuming tension distribution between the "Code for Design of Steel Structure"(GB50017-2003) and the "Specification of High Strength Bolt Connection of Steel Structures"(JGJ82-2011) are different, it may lead some problems in practical engineering. "Specification of High Strength Bolt Connection of Steel Structures"(JGJ82-2011) has given the assumed tension distribution ,but has not given formula .But its distribution assumption is the same as the British Standard ,so the calculation is given below reference to British Standard. Comparing their calculation methods and referencing to the British Standard ,the latter distribution is more reasonable.
