This model represents a bolted, rigid beam splice connection featuring cleats and haunches bolted to the bottom flange of the beams and connected to each other via full-depth end plates. The connection is configured as a ridge connection using I-profiles with identical cross-sections. The configuration is designed to transfer significant bending moments and shear forces through a combination of end plates, a rib-bracket, and a lower haunch to increase the lever arm of the bolted assembly. This splice is suitable for applications where a continuous beam effect is required at the connection point.
