3. SEISMIC BEHAVIOUR OF BOLTED END PLATE BEAM-TO-COLUMN STEEL JOINTS<br />
3.4.1 Material properties<br />
Particular attention was paid to <strong>the</strong> mechanical <strong>and</strong> fracture-related properties <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>the</strong> structural components <strong>and</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> fasteners (welds <strong>and</strong> bolts). The relevant<br />
results <strong>of</strong> tension coupon tests conducted on samples from end plates, bolts,<br />
pr<strong>of</strong>iles <strong>and</strong> fillets <strong>of</strong> weld are collected in Table 3.4.<br />

The strength properties <strong>of</strong> structural elements are in satisfactory accordance with<br />
<strong>the</strong> nominal values for S275 steel, whose yield strength fy <strong>and</strong> ultimate tensile<br />
strength fu are equal to 275 <strong>and</strong> 430 MPa respectively (Eurocode 3, 2001). The<br />
material performance generally meets <strong>the</strong> Codes requirements both for strength<br />
<strong>and</strong> deformation capacity: <strong>the</strong> ultimate elongation eu is greater than 20% <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
ultimate material ductility (eu/ey) achieves fairly <strong>high</strong> values. However, as far as<br />
strength limitation are concerned, in a few cases fy/ fy,nom was beyond <strong>the</strong> limit <strong>of</strong> 35<br />
per cent allowed by Eurocode 8 (2002) recommendation on <strong>the</strong> material<br />
overstrength. Moreover, <strong>the</strong> strength fmax/fy ratio very <strong>of</strong>ten exceeds <strong>the</strong> value <strong>of</strong>
