Abstract: Experimental investigations of the force‐deformation behavior of cropped‐web tubular Pratt type truss joints and specimens representing truss compression webs are described. Dimensionless empirical expressions are presented ...

Abstract: The yield line analysis method is used to develop an expression for predicting yield strengths of joints in welded Warren‐type hollow structural section trusses with round end‐cropped webs and rectangular chords. Yield ...
