Free calculatorsBolted End-Plate Connection Calculator
Bolted moment end-plate beam-to-column connection — EN 1993-1-8 §6.2 component method. Enter the beam, column, end-plate, bolt rows and applied moment/shear/axial for a live connection elevation, the bolt-row tension distribution (plastic vs elastic), the per-row component resistances, joint moment resistance Mj,Rd and shear resistance Vj,Rd, full design checks and a printable step-by-step calc sheet.
Runs the validated STATIX connection engine — verified against EN 1993-1-8 T-stub & end-plate Mj,Rd worked examples

Design code
Single-code module — bolted moment end-plate beam-to-column connection by the EN 1993-1-8 §6.2 component method (T-stubs, column web, panel shear). γM0=1.0, γM2=1.25.

Connection take-off — all end-plate connections
Every end-plate connection in the project, aggregated into a connection take-off — end-plate, bolts and welds per element with estimated steel mass. Use “Add connection” above to build the schedule, then Download PDF (print → Save as PDF). Masses are nominal for take-off only.

This isn't a toy calculator
It runs the same component-method engine as STATIX — a full structural suite whose connection module is validated against EN 1993-1-8 T-stub, end-plate Mj,Rd and column-web worked examples. The full 3D modeller with native CBFEM is coming soon. Model the whole building and every connection, not just one joint.
