Chord-end RHS-to-RHS and CHS-to-CHS X-connections with rigid cap plates: Stress concentration factors (Postprint)
Sun, M; Tousignant, K; Nejad, AZ; Daneshvar, S (Elsevier, 2021-04-01)For rectangular hollow section (RHS)-to-RHS and circular hollow section (CHS)-to-CHS connections situated near a truss/girder end, reinforcement using a chord-end cap plate is common; however, for fatigue design, formulae ... -
Circular hollow section X-connections near an open chord end: stress concentration factors (Postprint)
Nejad, AZ; Sun, M; Tousignant, K (Elsevier, 2021-02-01)This paper presents a numerical finite element (FE) investigation to determine stress concentration factors (SCFs) for circular hollow section (CHS)-to-CHS X-connections near an open chord end. Previous large-scale experiments ... -
Design of Single-Sided Fillet Welds under Transverse Load (Postprint)
Thomas, JH; Tousignant, K (American Society of Civil Engineers, 2022-09-01)In North American steel design specifications, a directional strength-enhancement factor is used to increase the predicted strength of fillet welds subjected to transverse loading (i.e., loading at 90° to the weld axis). ... -
Experimental tests on fillet and PJP welds in CHS moment T-connections (Postprint)
Yang, Z; Tousignant, K (Elsevier, 2022-09-01)An experimental program was developed at Dalhousie University to test various unreinforced circular hollow section (CHS)-to-CHS 90° T-connections subjected to branch in-plane bending moment with the objective of determining ... -
Reliability Assessment of Concrete-Filled RHS Beam-Column Design Provisions (Preprint)
Rahbarimanesh, F; Tousignant, K (Springer, 2023-08-01)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 ...
