Abstract:End-plate connections are very often used is steelwork, as tension and bending connections. As a result of deflection of end plate, additional forces, known as prying forces arise and consequently increase stresses in bolts. Eurocode 1993-1-8 do not distinguish end-plate connections prestressed by high strength bolts from non-prestressed. The aim of the paper is to perform the comparison of previous analytical models and code regulations for coefficient of prying forces to the experimental tests and modelling … Show more
