Abstract

This study was conducted to propose analytical models that can predict the initial stiffness and plastic moment capacity of an unstiffened top and seat angle connection. These analytical models were developed by considering the moment-rotation curves, plastic hinge lines, and failure modes of an unstiffened top and seat angle connection. In the development of these analytical models, the effects of the prying action and the moment-shear interaction of a top angle were also considered. Application feasibility of these analytical models was verified by comparing these models' results with those obtained from using the Chen-Kishi and Faella models, as well as the Nethercot experimental test data. Four tests were conducted to obtain the moment-rotation curves and failure modes of an unstiffened top and seat angle connection under shear.
