... at ambient temperature and five tests at elevated temperature of a bare steel flush endplate beam-to-column connection are presented and discussed. Failure mechanisms are compared with those calculated according to existing design codes. A mathematical expression is proposed in order to represent the test...

.... 28. In all cases, the mathematical model showed, as did the experimental results, that the primary failureof the slab strips was due to yielding of the longitudinal reinforcement. The applied load causing steelyield was observed to increase with the degreeof end restraint. This increasein load...
