Bolted　connections　are　convenient　for　construction,　but　traditional　bolted　end-plate　joints　require　gaps　for　construction,　which　may　cause　construction　difficulties　and　installation　stress.　Bolted　T-stub　joints　could　avoid　the　installation　stress,　but　use　more　bolts.　Improving　the　traditional　bolted　T-stub　joints,　a　bolted　beam-tocolumn　joint　configuration　using　double-web　T-stubs　and　pallets,　with　less　bolts　required,　was　proposed.　Cyclic　tests　and　finite　element　analysis　were　conducted　to　analyze　the　effect　of　stiffeners,　the　column　web　thickness,　the　end　plate　thickness　of　T-stubs　and　L-stubs,　and　the　beam　flange　bolt　quantity　on　the　performances　of　the　novel　joint,　e.　g.　the　deformation　characteristics,　the　hysteresis　curve,　the　skeleton　curve,　the　slipping　resistance,　the　yield　resistance,　the　ultimate　resistance,　the　ductility　and　the　rotational　capacity.　According　to　the　results,　the　joint　could　be　designed　as　rigid　under　small　earthquakes　or　wind　loads,　and　may　dissipate　the　energy　mainly　through　slipping　under　moderate　and　large　earthquakes　to　reduce　the　plastic　deformation　demand　of　the　beams.　Stiffeners　of　the　double-web　T-stubs　and　pallets　can　increase　the　joint　stiffness　and　energy　dissipation　capacity,　and　more　bolts　on　the　beam　flanges　can　increase　the　joint　energy　dissipation　capacity　and　resistance.　Formulas　to　calculate　the　slipping　resistance,　the　yield　resistance　and　the　ultimate　resistance　are　derived,　providing　results　are　in　good　agreements　with　the　experimental　and　finite　element　results.
