Welded features in the tubular joints are one of the most severe sources of fatigue failure in
supporting structure for offshore wind turbines (OWTs). Therefore, fatigue resistance …

The appropriate probability distributions for maximum SCFs in KT-joint filled with three
different types of concrete under 4 different axial loads are studied. The process started with …

Highlights•The SCFs in tubular T/Y-joints reinforced with FRP were investigated.•263 FE

This paper presents a brand new application of the fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) materials
as a strengthening tool for reinforcing offshore steel tubular KT-joints to reduce the stress …

In the present study, the stress concentration factors (SCFs) in uniplanar DKT-joint
reinforced with different fibre reinforced polymers (FRPs) under the compression loading are …

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 …

This research investigates the effect of stress concentration factors (SCFs) in KT-connections
retrofitted with concrete under axial loadings. 972 finite element models of KT-connections …

In this study, results of performing 324 FE analyses on 108 circular hollow section (CHS) X-
connections with fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) have been used to derive a probability …

Nominal stresses have been used for a long time for the assessment of fatigue resistance of
welded joints, however, this approach has strong limitations since the definition of the …

The SCFs of the tubular K-joints reinforced with carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP)
were computed using the zero-point structural stress (ZPSS) method. After employing …
