This paper presents the results of an experimental programme for a new blind bolted
connection to unfilled hollow section (HS) columns under static loading. In this connection …

This paper presents the results of an experimental and analytical study into a new bolted
moment connection between unfilled hollow section columns and open section beams …

This paper presents the results of an experimental program investigating blind bolted T-stub
connections to unfilled hollow section columns in the tension and compression regions …

This paper presents the results of experimental investigations and numerical analyses
carried out to investigate the performance of new blind bolted moment-resisting connections …

Typical extended end-plate connections used in moment resisting steel frames with Hollow
Structural Section (HSS) columns will generally exhibit a certain degree cf flexibility. The …

Due to lack of access inside the hollow section column, it has been difficult to develop a
practical bolted moment connection between a W-shape beam and a hollow steel column …

This paper presents the results of an experimental program for bolted moment connection
joints of circular or square concrete filled steel tubular (CFST) columns, and H-shaped steel …

The use of hollow section columns in steel construction is presently hindered by the lack of
adequate connection technologies. Due to access constraints, standard bolting techniques …

Connecting a W-shape beam to a hollow steel section (HSS) column using conventional
bolts is difficult due to a lack of access inside the hollow section column to tighten the nut …

When bolted connections are preferred and concrete-filled steel tubes are chosen as the
columns, blind bolts can be used instead of ordinary structural bolts to eliminate the need for …
