Experimental Evaluation of Design Procedures for Fillet Welds to Hollow Structural Sections
Packer, Jeffrey A.; Sun, Min; Tousignant, Kyle (American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)This paper discusses contemporary design procedures for fillet welds to Hollow Structural Sections (HSS) in several prominent design codes. The structural reliability associated with the "directional strength enhancement ... -
Fillet weld effective lengths in CHS X-connections. I: Experimentation
Tousignant, Kyle; Packer, Jeffrey A. (Elsevier, 2017)For the first time, an experimental test program was conducted to assess the strength of fillet welds in circular hollow section (CHS) connections. Six large-scale, fillet-welded CHS-to-CHS X-connections were designed with ... -
Fillet weld effective lengths in CHS X-connections. II: Finite element modelling, parametric study and design
Tousignant, Kyle; Packer, Jeffrey A. (Elsevier, 2018)Finite element (FE) modelling was performed to extend the results of a recently completed experimental test program to evaluate the static strength of fillet welds in X-connections between circular hollow sections (CHS). ... -
Fillet welds around circular hollow sections
Tousignant, Kyle; Packer, Jeffrey A. (Springer, 2019)A research program was conducted to evaluate the safety of design rules for fillet welds around the perimeter of steel circular hollow sections (CHS) in the current American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) steel ... -
Numerical Investigation of Fillet Welds in HSS-to-Rigid End-Plate Connections
Tousignant, Kyle; Packer, Jeffrey A. (American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)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 ...
