RISLongitudinal Plate and Through Plate-to-Hollow Structural Section Welded Connections
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A longitudinal branch plate-to-rectangular hollow structural section (HSS) member connection tends to cause excessive distortion of the HSS connecting face. Such a connection therefore results in a relatively low, deformation ...
Welded Tee-to-HSS Connections
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A conventional longitudinal branch plate-to-HSS member connection tends to cause excessive distortion or plastification of the HSS connecting face. In an effort to reduce the inherent flexibility of longitudinal branch ...
Nailed Tubular Connections under Fatigue Loading
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Tests on nailed connections under static axial tension or compression loading have resulted in published limit-states design (LRFD) procedures for these types of splice connections. This paper presents the results of an ...
Design Guidelines for Longitudinal Plate to HSS Connections
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Although longitudinal plates have been used widely to connect braces and other attachments to hollow structural sections (HSS), there is no established design method available for this type of connection. Research work has ...
Experimental Study of Bolted HSS Flange-Plate Connections in Axial Tension
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Bolted flange-plate connections represent a practical and inexpensive solution for splicing axially loaded steel members. Research on bolted hollow section splices has hitherto been mainly focused on flange-plate connections ...
Notch Toughness of Internationally Produced Hollow Structural Sections
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Since the Northridge and Kobe earthquakes in the 1990s, with their numerous brittle fractures of steel members and welded connections, there is much more awareness of material notch toughness for all applications where ...
New Guidelines for Fatigue Design of HSS Connections
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The current specifications for fatigue design of hollow structural section (HSS) connections are both outdated, and, in view of recent research results fairly inaccurate. Analyses of a large number of connections have been ...
Static Strength of Axially Loaded Elliptical Hollow Section X Joints with Braces Welded to Wide Sides of Chord. II: Parametric Study and Strength Equations
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A research program consisting of experimental tests and finite-element (FE) analyses has been carried out to study the behavior and static strength of axially loaded elliptical hollow section (EHS) X joints of two ...
Static Strength of Axially Loaded Elliptical Hollow Section X Joints with Braces Welded to Wide Sides of Chord. I: Numerical Investigations Based on Experimental Tests
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Experimental tests and subsequent finite-element (FE) calibration studies were conducted to study the static strength of axially loaded X joints between elliptical hollow sections (EHS) with braces welded to the wide sides ...
