In this study, a finite element (FE) analysis of a composite joint with the concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) column and steel beam, with a through bolt-extended endplate, was carried out in a progressive collapse. The reasonable constitutive model of a steel plate, through bolt and core concrete materials under a large deformation were selected, and the comprehensive fracture criterion and damage evolution path of the ductile damage, shear damage and mixed damage modes based on the stress triaxiality, were considered in the steel constitutive structure, respectively. The accuracy of the modeling method and material constitutive, was verified by a comparison of the overall deformation processes, failure modes and resistances of joints, with both experimental and FE results. A typical composite joint, with the CFST column and steel beam with through bolt-extended endplate was designed, and four joints were derived for comparison by adjusting the diameter of the through bolt and the thickness of the extended endplate. The FE models of these five joints were established to investigate failure modes and resistance mechanisms by using the ABAQUS/Explicit module. The results showed that the failure modes of the composite joint with the CFST column and steel beam with through bolt-extended endplate, can be divided into three types: steel beam and through bolts failure, through bolts failure, and steel beam failure. The different strengths and weaknesses between the through bolt, extended endplate and steel beam affect the progressive collapse resistance of the joint directly. With the increase of the diameter of the through bolt and the thickness of the extended endplate, the failure mode of the joint gradually turns from through bolt failure to steel beam failure, and the resistance and ductility of the joint are enhanced and the anti-progressive collapse ability of the composite joint, with a CFST column and steel beam with a through bolt-extended endplate, increases.
