Abstract: To validate the accuracy of finite-element models of cracked square hollow section (SHS)

Abstract: This paper focused on investigating the moment resistance of steel I-beam to concrete-filled tube (CFT) column uniplanar connections under monotonic static loading. The composite connection can be stiffened or unstiffened. ...

Abstract: Long-distance offshore pipelines always suffer large plastic deformation during installation and operation. Accompanied by high internal pressure, potential flaws are found to initiate from the girth welds, and this brings ...

Abstract: A series of static strength tests were performed on full-scale precracked square-to-square hollow section welded T joints. These joints were subjected under brace end axial load until failure using a special purpose designed ...

Abstract: For assessing the integrity of damaged hollow section joints, the plastic collapse loads of the joints containing cracks is an important parameter. Very little published information is available in the literature concerning ...

Abstract: Experimental fatigue tests were carried out on three tubular T joints having the same geometrical parameters subjected to in-plane bending (IPB) only, combination of IPB and out-of-plane bending (OPB), and a combination ...

Abstract: In practice, tubular joints are always subjected to a combination of axial loading (AX), in-plane bending (IPB), and out-of-plane bending (OPB), and the initiation of surface cracks does not always start at the saddle or ...
