“…This type of connection has benefit of requiring less supervision and a shorter assembly time than welded connection. It also has a geometry that is easy to comprehend and can accommodate minor discrepancies in the dimensions of beams and columns [15].…”

“…However, due to the limited technology of that time, some assumptions had to be made. In 1994, Sherbourne [4] carried a study on evaluating the moment-rotation relationships for steel bolted end-plate connections based on finite-element modelling. The typical model configuration studied consisted of a rectangular plate welded to the beam cross section and bolted by two rows each of two bolts at the tension flange of the beam and one row of bolts above compression flange, and it is found that the prying forces in the projected portion of the end plate will increase with decrease of end-plate thickness.…”

A B S T R A C T IntroductionConnection is one of the most important elements in structural components for steelwork. This is because the internal forces and moments at the connection are transferred by the connection from the connected members to other supporting member. The mechanical properties of the connections will have effects on the strength, stiffness and stability of the whole structure. Hence, most of the recent research works were focussed on the behaviour of the connection. For multi-storey buildings, the type of connections between the main structural elements which are usually classified as beam-to-column connections, beam-tobeam connections, column splices, column bases and bracing connections. However, the most common type of connections used in the research is the beam-to-column connection.

“…ABAQUS. The finite element mesh for a single bolt with its boundary conditions is illustrated in Figure 3, with applying 3D continuum hexahedral elements in numerical analysis, recommended by Bahaari (1994 and. Regarding the FE model shown in Figure 3, for the bolt cylinder, axial displacements are fully restrained at the bottom surface of a bolt, and the axial force is applied as a uniform displacement to a nut surface.…”

Structural bolts have been manufactured for building construction for hundreds of years. In practice, failure of high strength structural bolts might be caused by their tolerance classes or coating procedures, which may weaken their internal or external threads. However, this research work is dedicated to understanding a bit more on bolt performance in tension, accounting for effects of tolerance classes in the applied numerical simulation for assessment of performance of structural bolts subjected to tensile loading. In addition, different constitutive relationships has also been taken into account in the numerical analysis in use of both implicit and explicit methods. The observed simulation results demonstrated two failure mechanisms for structural bolts, threads stripping and bolt shank failure, which has proved to be associated with their tolerance classes and coating procedures applied. As a result of this, carefully selecting bolts and nuts is a deliberate solution in preventing the premature failure (threads stripping) in bolted connections for performance-based steel construction.

“…Since then, several researchers have been using the FEM to investigate the joint behaviour, such as: Lipson & Hague (1978) -single-angle bolted-welded connection; Krishnamurthy et al (1979) -extended endplate connections; Richard et al (1983) -double-angle connection; Patel & Chen (1984) -welded two-side connections; Patel & Chen (1985) bolted moment connection; Kukreti et al (1987) -flush endplate connections; Beaulieu & Picard (1988) -bolted moment connection; Atamiaz Sibai & Frey (1988) -welded one-side unstiffened joint configuration. More recently, focusing on 3D finite element models the following works can be mentioned: Sherbourne & Bahaari (1994); Bursi & Jaspart (1997Yang et al (2000); Citipitioglu et al (2002); Coelho et al (2002);and Maggi et al (2002).…”
