Moment End Plate Connections for RHS/SHS

4-Bolt Moment End Plate Connection for RHS/SHS

8-Bolt Moment End Plate Connection for RHS/SHS

These connections are available for RHS and SHS compact sections only. The design models, based on 2-dimensional yield line analysis, were developed in recent Sydney University research projects that included full-scale testing (see R745 and R827).

Bolts must be high-strength tensioned bolts, such as 8.8/TB or A325PT. The design models are only valid for a combination butt/fillet weld of specified leg dimension all around the section.
