The use of tubular joints (TJs) is evident, although they are commonly utilized in different
areas, such as buildings, bridges, offshore structures, and renewable energy structures …

Many shell structures used in modern technology consist of regular shell parts joined
together along their common boundaries. We review different theoretical, numerical, and …

In the present paper, results obtained from the FE analysis of 118 models, which were
verified against the test data extracted from an experimental investigation, were used to …

Tubular structures are widely used in offshore installations, trusses, high rise buildings,
towers for wind turbines, ski-lift installations, lightning, road pole signals etc., owing to their …

The majority of tubular joints commonly found in offshore practice are multi-planar.
Investigating the effect of loaded out-of-plane braces on the values of the stress …

Although the tubular KT-joints are quite common in offshore structural design and despite
the crucial role of stress concentration factors (SCFs) in evaluating the fatigue performance …

In the present paper, data extracted from the finite element analysis of 118 models, which
were validated against the test results obtained from an experimental study, were used to …

The stress concentration factors (SCF) in FRP strengthened tubular T-joints subjected to
brace axial loading, in-plane and out-of-plane bending moments were investigated. The …

An experimental program was carried out on an axially loaded steel welded tubular T-joint
made of circular hollow sections and strengthened with Glass/vinyl ester to study the effect of …

The internal ring stiffeners have been commonly introduced in tubular joints to improve the
ultimate strength and fatigue life of offshore structures. However, for internally ring-stiffened …
