Abstract
Based on some of experimental results for components and full-scale connections, this paper investigates the strength, stiffness and ductility behavior of heavy clip angle connection components subjected to static loading. The results of tests on heavy clip angle connection (t=25mm) are described first, and then a methodology to generate the response of the clip angle connection using nonlinear finite element models (FE) is presented. Extensive experience with 3D numerous models is discussed, including the effect of boundary conditions, introduction of the pretension force into the bolts, and effects of small changes in geometry on the deformation capacity of the angles. Possible strategies for the extension of this modeling approach to cyclic loads are also described.
