4-Bolt Extended End Plate Moment Connection
4-Bolt Extended End Plate Moment Connection
(OP)
Does anybody know where I could find a reference calculation for a 4-bolt extended end plate moment connection? Is it really feasible to have such connection since the AISC only provide examples for 6-bolt and 8-bolt extended end plate moment connections? Thanks in advance.

see especially p. 16 to 23 where how to establish the capacity in tension of bolt patterns is established (the patterns of failure through yield lines and which of them to consider are given).
