End Plate Connection with Structural Thermal Break
Extended or flush end plate moment connection with a Farrat TBF, TBK or TBL thermal break pad: T-stub bolt row resistances, moment resistance Mj,Rd, compression on the pad (F_c ≤ B·L·f_cd), pack and grip-length reductions to bolt shear, and the extra SLS rotation from pad compression and creep.
Standard: BS EN 1993-1-8 §6.2
Clauses: EN 1993-1-8 §3.6, §6.2.4–6.2.7, Tables 6.2, 6.5, 6.6; SCI P398; Farrat FTB-UK-21a
