the plate column interaction the one can say that Mcolumn = K EI/ L
Where:
K= 4, for case of rigid connection.
But when the plate thickness is getting smaller compared to the size of the column, the plate can not prevent the rotation of the column and therefore I am expected another value of K that takes into account the effect of the plate thickness and the size of the column.
Hello Bakri
You are right, the plate thickness and column size do have an effect on the behaviour of the end-plate connection, especially for the transfer of the moment.
The following is one of the best publications I have seen that details the problem well and gives all the possibilities.

I have carried out myself a lot of work on connections behaviour although not specifically on end plate connections. I will be happy to help with any future questions.
Best wishes with your research.
Messaoud.
Well, the connection start to act like a pinned connection, therefor you should check semi rigid connection parameters to find that K factor.
Pleasure. Please keep us informed on how you get on with your research.
Best wishes
