STIFFNESS MODELING OF BOLTED T-STUB CONNECTION COMPONENTS.

Presents information on a study which used the results of bolted T-stub component tests and full-scale T-stub connection tests to develop and calibrate a comprehensive T-stub connection stiffness model. Mechanisms influencing the behavior of T-stub connections; Behavior of a connection incorporating T-stubs; Models of T-stub deformation component; Model limitations; Conclusions.
