In 80's and 90's hollow sections (HS) were mainly used in compression and tension
elements of truss systems. Nowadays, architects are more and more using hollow sections …

This paper presents the results of an extensive experimental investigation on the behaviour
of a new type of joint between open structural steel beam and rectangular hollow section …

This paper presents the experimental results of twenty full scale specimens of steel bolted
connections beam-to-column with top-and-seat angles in six groups, labelled L91-tp8, L82 …

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 …

Four T-head Square-neck One-side Bolts (TSOBs) bolted I-beam to Hollow Section Square
Column (HSSC) connections with H-steel stiffener were tested under cyclic load, where the …

This article presents the experimental results of nine specimens of steel bolted beam-to-
column connections with top-and-seat angle and stiffener. All of the connections have the …

Three types of prefabricated stiffening components that can be used in Square Hollow
Section (SHS) columns and a complete assembly process are proposed in this paper. A total …

Bolted joints between I-section beams and I-section columns have been widely adopted in
prefabricated steel frames to avoid field welding, but it is difficult to use bolted beam-to …

An innovative type of bolted beam-to-column connection by means of a Π-shaped connector
welded by two flanges, one web and one end-plate is put forward in this study. Besides …

In unbraced steel frame structures, bolted extended end-plate moment connections are very
often applied. These types of joints are widely used to connect beams to columns as well as …
