Net section rupture is a common failure mode of bolted tension members. In particular, the
net section capacity of tension angle is significantly affected by the effect of shear lag. This …

Traditional definition of the effective width of steel-concrete composite beam is based on a
certain beam section. Section-based effective width changes from one section to another …

This research investigates the shear lag effect on the behaviour and ultimate tensile capacity
of high strength steel (HSS) tension angles with bolted and welded connections. Eighteen …

Abstract Rectangular Hollow Sections (RHS) because of their high resistance to tension, as
well as compression, are commonly used as a bracing member with slotted gusset plate …

This paper presents an experimental, numerical, and reliability study on the fracture
behaviour of bolted steel tensile connections with various bolt arrangements. A total of 36 …

Theoretical predictions of the ultimate shear resistance of slender-plate girders are broadly
based on either Cardiff theory or Höglund's theory. Cardiff theory assumes an equilibrium …

Shear lag phenomenon has long been considered in numerous structural codes; however,
the AISC provisions have now no longer proposed any unique equation to calculate the …

The typical failure of a welded single angle tension member is a gross section failure. The
rupture strength of the single angle tension member is affected by the effect of shear lag. Full …

The typical failure mode of a welded single-angle tension member is a gross section failure.
The rupture strength of the single angle tension member affected by the effect of shear lag. A …

This paper presents a numerical study of the shear lag effects on high strength steel (HSS)
bolted and welded single anglesby the finite element method. The finite element models …
