ABSTRACT: A semi-rigid beam-to-column composite blind bolted connection is modelled using ABAQUS
software. The composite beam is connected to the concrete-filled square column using blind bolts, and the
model simulates a connection in hogging bending moment. Partial shear connection is considered, as well as the
non-linear material ...
