This paper provides the efficient and economical moment connection details of a cold formed tubular beam column end plate joint with different arrangemet of long bolts. Totally nine models are created and analysed using the finite element software ANSYS APDL. The size of the beam and column sections used is 700 mm x 50 mm x 100 mm and 900 mm x 50 mm x 100 mm, respectively. The thickness of the section is 2.0 mm. The end plate size is 100mm x 150mm x 2.5mm and 6 mm diameter long bolts are used to connect the members in the joint. The performance of end plate and long bolts during the loading is investigated. For validation, one of the models is tested to failure and found satisfactory. The results of the analysis show that the end plate deformation in tension zone is reduced by adding more number of bolts and the symmetrical arrangement of long bolts increase the rigidity of the joint and prevent the detachment of end plate from column face. The models HS2.5P-6 and HS2.5P-9 show almost similar behaviour in terms of moment-rotation and therefeore from economic design and fabrication point of view the model HS2.5P-6 may be considered as the best suitable connection. © IAEME.
