Description

This work presents the results of the study of the six experimental tests of standardised end-plate beam-to-column steel joints under arbitrary cyclic loading. The experimental programme is divided into two groups, varying the column section size. Each group has the first monotonic test and two more cyclic tests with arbitrary loading. The results are presented in terms of M-Ø curves, main mechanical joint properties and same relevant illustrations are presented. Finally, some conclusions can be drawn.
