第二版设计指南4:延伸端板力矩连接现已提供。更新后的指南由弗吉尼亚理工大学的汤姆·默里和北卡罗来纳州的埃米特·萨姆纳共同撰写。本指南将屈服线理论应用于一种新的设计理念——风和地震应用中的扩展端板力矩连接。这允许使用50ksi钢设计端板力矩连接。

The second edition of Design Guide 4: Extended End-Plate Moment Connections is now available. The updated guide was written by Tom Murray of Virginia Tech and Emmett Sumner or 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 extends end-plate moment connections to be designed using 50ksi steel.
