Swage-locking pinned connections are becoming increasingly popular in aluminium alloy
structures. This paper presents a comprehensive numerical study into the structural …

Gusset plates are key connection components in steel truss and braced frame structures. To
provide a comprehensive insight into the behaviour and design of these components, this …

A new type of connection has been developed for steel-braced frame systems that allows
the brace members to undergo compression buckling in the in-plane direction. In addition to …

This paper investigates the behaviour and strength of structural steel bolted connections
whose failure modes involve shear yielding and/or fracture. Such failure modes include the …

This paper develops a generalised component method (GCM) model for bolted bearing type
connections that predicts their full range response, from onset of yielding through to block …

The block shear equation in the current Australasian and amended North American cold-
formed steel design specifications is based on shear yielding without strain hardening, while …

Multi-celled concrete filled steel tubular walls (MCFSTWs) have been widely used in
engineering practice. A high MCFSTW can be constructed by assembling two medium …

This paper investigates the net section tension strength of bolted connections in ultra-high
strength sheet steel (yield stress greater than 1000 MPa) under various fire scenarios …

The paper is concerned with the statistical analysis of strength functions for bolted
connections, namely the bearing resistance, the block tearing resistance, the net cross …

In many regions of the world, a conventional low-ductility concentrically braced frame (CBF)
is commonly chosen as the seismic force resisting system. The energy dissipation is not …
