American Institute of Steel Construction
Structural steel designers have a valuable resource for the design of end-plate moment connections in AISC Steel Design Guide 39, End-Plate Moment Connections, which is available at aisc.org/dg.
The guide, written by Virginia Tech’s Matthew Eatherton, S.E., PhD, and Thomas Murray, P.E., PhD, reviews how to use yield-line analysis to determine end-plate strength, details design procedures for determining required bolt strength, and provides 15 end-plate moment connection configurations.
The design guide also includes 30 design examples for gravity, wind and low-seismic-ductility design; three examples for high-seismic-ductility design; and a comprehensive literature review.
Design Guide 39 is available for download at aisc.org/dg. Like all digital design guides, it is free for AISC members; printed versions also are available for purchase.

Applied Bolting Technology
Applied Bolting Technology manufactures Squirter DTIs (Direct Tension Indicators) that expel durable orange indication media, providing Visual Verification of Bolt Tension. DTIs are mechanical load cells, combined with standard bolt assemblies, that ensure compliance with all modern applicable structural bolting standards and specifications. Torque, Turn-of-Nut and Twist-off bolts can all produce false-positive tension and regularly do: Torque scatter is ±40% for new bolts and worse for bolts exposed to the elements for any length of time. DTIs read load. If a bolt is tight, a DTI will show it, independent of weather, torque, angle, tool or skill. If a bolt is not tight, a DTI will illustrate that as well, allowing the field to make corrections before a structure enters service.
