Abstract: This paper presents a set of parametric equations for predicting the stress concentration factor (SCF) at the crown toe, saddle, and crown heel of completely overlapped tubular circular hollow section joints under lap brace ...

Abstract: This paper presents the development of a parametric equation for predicting the ultimate capacity of tubular circular hollow section joint with complete overlap of braces based on the experimental and numerical investigation. ...

Abstract: A full-scale uniplanar completely overlapped tubular K(N) joint specimen is tested to determine the hot spot strains at the joint intersections for the verification of the finite-element (FE) model. The test results reveal ...

Abstract: The completely overlapped joints of the eccentrically braced offshore jackets were investigated both experimentally and numerically. A full-scale specimen was tested under cyclic quasi-static loading. In the test, local ...
