End Plate Moment Connection is one of the key joint methods used in steel structures to securely connect beams and columns. This method involves welding an end plate to the beam's end and using high-strength bolts to connect this plate to a column or another beam, allowing effective moment transmission. Below is a summary of the main concepts and characteristics of End Plate Moment Connection.
