About this asset

This Revit family provides a structural steel extended end plate connection with eight bolts for robust beam-to-column framing. The component features a flat steel plate configured for an extended connection, designed to facilitate structural joining in steel framing systems. It includes an eight-bolt arrangement, with four bolts positioned in the upper extended section and four in the lower section, each complete with washers and nuts. The geometry is clean and functional, reflecting standard industrial steel fabrication details. The plate thickness and bolt spacing are consistent with typical structural engineering requirements for moment-resisting connections in steel-framed buildings, providing a precise, ready-to-use BIM element for detailed structural modelling and documentation.

The download is a 748 KB file containing a Revit family (.rfa). Load it into a project from the Insert tab with Load Family, then place it like any other component of its category; it schedules and tags with the rest of your model.

In Revit, this connection family is typically loaded into a structural project and hosted onto the end of a steel beam or column member. Users should check the family parameters to ensure alignment with the specific profile of the structural steel section being used. Proper material assignment is essential for accurate scheduling and visual representation in sections or 3D views.

This steel connection is essential for structural engineers and architects working on commercial, industrial, or high-rise residential projects that feature exposed or concealed steel framing. It is suitable for use during the design development and construction documentation phases, where precise structural detailing is required for steel-to-steel connections. Professionals often search for this type of component when detailing moment connections or complex steel junctions, ensuring that the BIM model reflects the actual engineering intent for the structural steel assembly.
