Experimental research on hysteretic behavior of longitudinal Plate-To-RHS connections

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

A group of eight longitudinal plate-to-RHS (rectangular hollow section) connections was tested under axial cyclic load acting on the brace member with one end slotted and welded to the longitudinal plate. The influence of plate length and plate thickness as well as brace-to-chord angle was investigated. In the test, the punching shear acting on the chord connecting surface, which was transferred by the weld between the plate and chord, caused crack initiation and led to joint failure. Hysteretic curves are plump and stable for all specimens. Skeleton curves are close to tn-linear models. The CIDECT formula for static bearing capacity underestimates the ultimate strength of joints.
