Numerical analyses on yield line patterns of Thread-fixed One-side Bolts (TOBs) bolted
endplate connection to Square Hollow Section (SHS) column under tension were presented …

This paper presents the experimental results of eight specimens of steel bolted connections
beam-to-column and beam-to-beam with flush or extended endplate. Four of the …

Hollow section steel members are known to possess many advantages over open sections,
including aesthetic appearance and economy in terms of material costs. However, their use …

In recent years the use of closed sections/tubes as structural members has increased
significantly. Designers all around the world approve of the advantages that round as well as …

A total of ten tests on bolted T-stubs to square hollow section column (SHSC) connection
using thread-fixed one-side bolts (TOBs) were conducted. Four failure modes and the …

Double-angle connections, which are welded to the beam web and bolted to the column
flange, are studied to establish the effects of the bolt gage distances and the angle …

A new moment connection for a steel beam to hollow structural section (HSS) and concrete-
filled tube (CFT) columns using the through-plate technique is proposed. In the through …

Composite columns are increasing being used as the primary gravity load carrying elements
in medium to high-rise construction. In an attempt to optimize the steel weight ratio there has …

Current guidelines do not address the design of column base connections under combined
biaxial bending moment and axial load. An analytical study is conducted to develop a biaxial …

Modified blind bolts (Hollo-Bolt) and a locally strengthened steel tube column in the panel
zone were created to overcome the moment-resisting problem for the bolted connections …
