<br/><br/> The thesis presents an analytical and experimental investigation of the behavior of end plate connections under axial tensile force . Three- dimensional non- linear finite element models have been established to study the distribution of bolt forces in end plate connection as well as yield pattern of steel end plate and stress concentration in web of beam / column
