Flush end-plate bolted is one type of beam to column connection, are widely used nowadays for easy installations and construction process. The connection modelled in this research was the flush end-plate welded with triangular web profile steel beam section (TRIWP) and then bolted to UKC column flange. Therefore, in this study the bolted flush end-plate semi-rigid beam to column connection was modelled using finite element software to determine the moment-rotation curve, moment of resistance as well as mode of failure and the results were compared with the existing results for normal flat web. Specimen has been modelled using LUSAS 14.3 finite element software. Dimensions and parameters in finite element model sizes are 200 x 200 x 49.9 UKC, 200 x 100 x 17.8 UKB and 200 x 100 with thickness 20mm of endplate. Results show that, triangular web profile has less value to that of flat web section on moment resistance (M R) behaviour but has higher ultimate moment (Mu) than normal flat web section.
