This paper reports on an experimental investigation on a very large, bolted beam-to-column
steel joint that will be extensively used in a new experimental facility for the study of …

Steel tubular members are efficient and aesthetic structural solution, yet the bolted
connections between then are challenging due to the restricted access to the inside of the …

This paper presents the development, implementation, and validation of a macro-element
suitable for the linear analysis of innovative 3D plug-and-play joints between tubular …

Modular construction has become increasingly popular in recent years due to its various
benefits, including faster construction time, reduced on-site work, automated production, and …

The premature failure of steel structures due to connection damages, induced by various
loadings, has received studious attention leading to the development of beam-to-column …

Geodesic domes are 3D reticulated structures used to cover large areas. As lightweight
structures, they are sensible for dynamic effects. The structural behaviour of domes is …

Tubular structures are rather efficient systems due to the ease of fabrication, erection, and
the high strength-to-weight ratio of their elements. However, they have seen limited use due …
