Yan, R. (author), Xin, H. (author), Veljkovic, M. (author), Da Silva, Luís Simões (author)In traditional end plate column splices, bolts are placed double symmetrically on the four sides of square hollow sections (SHS). In order to reduce the required gap between the façade and the column, the end plate could be flushed on one or two sides of SHS for the column along the façade or at the corner of a building, respectively. However...journal article 2023
