Popis: This paper focuses on the stiffness and resistance of the additional plate in bending. This is a component which appears in beam-to-beam bolted steel joints, when a secondary beam with a flush end plate is attached orthogonally to the primary beam by an additional plate welded between its flanges. In this work, six experimental tests have been carried out to calibrate a finite element model which has been used to develop a wide parametric study. Thus, a new formulation for stiffness and resistance based on an equivalent frame is proposed.
