  • Investigation of weld effective length rules for CHS X-connections 

    Tousignant, K. & Packer, J. A. (2017). Investigation of weld effective length rules for CHS X-connections. In Heidarpour, A. & Zhao, X. (Eds.), Tubular Structures XVI; Proc. Intern. Symp., Melbourne, Australia, 4-6 December 2017. Rotterdam: Balkema, 657-664.
    A laboratory-based test program was conducted to assess the performance of fillet welds in X-connections between circular hollow sections (CHS). Six full-scale, fillet-welded CHS-to-CHS X-connections were designed to be ...

  • Numerical Investigation of Fillet Welds in HSS-to-Rigid End-Plate Connections 

    Tousignant, K. & Packer, J. A. (2017). Numerical investigation of fillet welds in HSS-to-rigid end-plate connections, Journal of Structural Engineering, American Society of Civil Engineers 143(12): 04017165-1 – 04017165-16. https://doi.org/10.1061/(ASCE)ST.1943-541X.0001889
    This paper presents a finite element (FE) investigation on the behavior of fillet-welded hollow structural section (HSS) rigid end-plate connections, wherein the entire weld length is effective. The FE models are validated ...

  • Reliability Assessment of Concrete-Filled RHS Beam-Column Design Provisions (Preprint) 

    Published Version: Rahbarimanesh, F., Tousignant, K. (2023). Reliability Assessment of Concrete-Filled RHS Beam-Column Design Provisions. In: Gupta, R., et al. Proceedings of the Canadian Society of Civil Engineering Annual Conference 2022. CSCE 2022. Lecture Notes in Civil Engineering, vol 348. Springer, Cham. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-34159-5_3
    Revisions were recently proposed to the way in which concrete-filled hollow structural section members are handled in CSA S16. These revisions were based on previous research, comparisons to experiments, and an approximate ...

  • Stress concentration factors for RHS-to-RHS X-connections near an open chord end 

    Daneshvar, S., Sun, M. & Tousignant, K. (2020). Stress concentration factors for RHS-to-RHS X-connections near an open chord end. Journal of Constructional Steel Research 175: 106352.
    This paper presents an experimental and finite-element (FE) study to determine stress concentration factors (SCFs) for directly welded rectangular hollow section (RHS)-to-RHS axially loaded X-connections near an open chord ...
