T-stubs with two and four bolts under monotonic and cyclic loading

The mechanical behavior of T-stubs bolted connection with two and four bolts per row under monotonic cyclic loading is analyzed in this paper using a 3D finite element model. aim the model that takes into account material geometrical nonlinearities to obtain evolution prying forces throughout cycles loading. numerical also used compare those row. results are prepared be as basis for proposing analytical models endplate connections component method Eurocode 3.
