Capacity Prediction and Design Model for Truss Gusset Plates Using a Truss Analogy Method

Abstract

AbstractThis paper presents an analytical model to predict the capacity of multimember Warren truss gusset connections, taking into consideration sequential yielding, elastic/inelastic buckling, partial plane shear yielding (PPSY), and tensile rupture of ...Graphical abstract summarizing the research in three sections: The first section shows the finite element model used to perform the analyses and parametric studies of truss gusset connections. The second section presents the proposed three-component truss ...
