A typical moment end-plate connection is composed of asteel plate welded to the end of a beam section with attachment to an adjacent member using rows of fully tensionedhigh-strength bolts. The connection may join two beams(splice plate connection) or a beam and a column. end-platemoment connections are classified as either flush orextended, with or without stiffeners, and further classifieddepending on the number of bolts at the tension flange. Aflush connection is detailed such that the end plate does notappreciably extend beyond the beam flanges and all boltsare located between the beam flanges. Flush end-plate connections are typically used in frames subject to light lateralloadings or near inflection points of gable frames. Anextended connection is detailed such that the end plateextends beyond the tension flange a sufficient distance toallow a location of bolts other than between the beamflanges. Extended end plates may be used with or without astiffener between the end plate and the tension beam flangein the plane of the beam web. Extended end plates are usedfor beam-to-column moment connections.The three extended end-plate configurations shown inFigure 1.1 have been tested for use in seismic applications.The intent of this edition of the Guide is to present completedesign procedures and examples of the three moment endplate configurations, which have been shown to be suitabl
