EQUALJOINTS and EQUALJOINTS-Plus are two European projects (research and
dissemination respectively) funded by the European Research fund for Coal and Steel …

The reliable estimation of the cyclic behaviour of steel beam-to-column joints is essential for
the safe design of steel structures under seismic loading. The T-stub is an essential …

Friction joints have recently been shown to be an up-and-coming solution to limit the
structural damage of steel moment-resisting frames under extreme seismic actions. Their …

This paper focuses on modelling the cyclic response of welded T-joints between Circular-
Hollow-Section (CHS) chords and passing-through plates. Recent works have highlighted …

This paper presents a dataset of cyclic tests and FE simulations of T-joints with Circular-
Hollow-Section (CHS) chords and passing-through plates. These specimens were designed …

This paper focuses on predicting the flexural stiffness and strength of beam-to-column joints
with Circular-Hollow-Section (CHS) columns and externally welded double-tee beams using …

This study aims to extend the Eurocode 3 Part 1.8 approach for tubular constructions by
developing analytical tools for designing and modelling joints between Square Hollow …

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 …

Aiming at the deficiency of the fully welded connection during an earthquake, a novel
connection type with double-leg energy dissipation cover plates (DEDCPs) and buckling …

Nowadays, modern building codes, such as the Eurocodes, require from the civil engineers
to ensure an appropriate robustness to any structure. In steel and composite structures, this …
