    The document discusses the initial stiffness of plated components using the T-stub concept. It describes a T-stub as having a flange that deforms in bending and bolts that deform in tension. The compatibility between the deformations of the flange and bolts must be ensured. Expressions are provided to calculate the initial elastic stiffness of the T-stub that also account for coupling between multiple T-stubs. The elongation of the bolts results from tension in the bolt shank.

    Application of the T-stub approach

    For plated components, it is also referred to the T-stub concept, see Figure 2.3.4.

    Figure 2.3.4 T-stub elastic deformability


    In a T-stub, the tensile stiffness results from the elastic deformation of the T-stub flange in
    bending and of the bolts in tension (the role of the latter is plaid by the anchor bolts in section
    2.3.3 dealing explicitly with column bases). When evaluating the stiffness of the T-stub, the
    compatibility between the respective deformabilities of the T-stub flange and of the bolts has to
    be ensured :
    *p = b
    where p*

    (2.3.8)
    is the deformation of the end-plate at the level of the bolts;
    is the elongation of the bolts.

    In Jaspart (1991), expressions providing the elastic initial stiffness of the T-stub are proposed;
    they allow the coupling effect between the T-stubs to be taken into consideration. These
    expressions slightly differ from those given in the original publication of Yee and Melchers
    (1986).
    The elongation b of the bolts simply results from the elongation of the bolt shank subjected to
    tension:
