The second edition of Design Guide 4: Extended End-Plate Moment Connections Seismic and Wind Applications is now available. Written by Tom Murray of Virginia Tech and Emmett Sumner of NC State, the guide makes use of yield line theory in a new design philosophy extended end-plate moment connections in wind and seismic applications. This allows extended end-plate moment connections to be designed using 50ksi steel.
