Abstract: Recent advancements in computer and software technology have enhanced the use of finite element (FE) methods for the simulation of complex systems almost in all engineering domains. In this paper, 3D nonlinear FE simulation of a long bolted extended end plate beam-column moment connection in a steel framed structure is investigated using ANSYS software. The simulation parameters such as the end plate thickness, number of bolts and column with and without concrete infill are considered to evaluate the performance of the connections. The simulation results are validated with the experimental test results and found that the FE models are capable of representing the actual behaviour of structures with less cost and time.
