FEA Dataset of Prequalified and Proposed End-Plate Moment Connections for Beam-to-Column Joints and Two-Story Moment Frames
Description
This dataset contains the CAE files used in the Finite Element Analysis (FEA) of both prequalified and proposed extended end-plate moment connections for beam-to-column joints and two-story moment frames. The dataset includes modeling files created in ABAQUS/CAE, which can be used to reproduce, modify, and extend the simulations for further research and validation. The provided CAE files represent various connection configurations—both existing and proposed—subjected to monotonic and cyclic loadings. These models were developed to evaluate the structural performance of the proposed connections.
