مدلسازي غيرخطي اتصالات ممان گير با ورق انتهايي (فلنجي)

Considering the importance of quantitative evaluation of structures and the necessity of realistic simulation of real behavior of structures when doing extraordinary loadings such as earthquakes that may cause nonlinear behavior in structural elements, in this study modeling of Moment resisting connections including end plate, is evaluated. Considering that there is no direct reference of modeling and determining the actual capacity of these connections in the internal codes such as 10th National Building Regulations [3] or seismic rehabilitation code for existing buildings [2], the FEMA-355F [4] for Topic has been used. Finally an example of how to model this type of connection also has been presented.
