Abstract: This paper examines the accuracy of design equations specified in the North American, European, and Australasian codes for cold-formed steel structures in determining the ultimate tilt-bearing capacity of single-shear ...

Abstract: This study is concerned with the strength limit state of serial bolted connections in structural steel plates. It points out that the ultimate load capacity of a serial bolted connection failing in combined bearing and ...

Abstract: Based on the previous research results of the authors, this paper presents an accurate and consistent equation for determining the ultimate shear-out capacity of a structural steel bolted connection. The equation is verified ...

Abstract: This study is concerned with double-shear bolted connections in cold-reduced steel sheets that undergo the pure bearing failure mode of the inside sheet. Compared to the published test results of bolted connections failing ...
