Numerical Investigation of Fillet Welds in HSS-to-Rigid End-Plate Connections
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 ... -
Experimental Evaluation of Design Procedures for Fillet Welds to Hollow Structural Sections
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 welds around circular hollow sections
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 ... -
Investigation of weld effective length rules for CHS X-connections
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 ... -
Fillet weld effective lengths in CHS X-connections. II: Finite element modelling, parametric study and design
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 weld effective lengths in CHS X-connections. I: Experimentation
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 ... -
Design of fillet welds in RHS-to-RHS moment T-connections under branch in-plane bending
Non-linear finite element (FE) models were developed to assess the AISC 360-16 Chapter K design approach for fillet welds in rectangular hollow section (RHS) moment T-connections under branch in-plane bending. The FE models ... -
Stress concentration factors for RHS-to-RHS X-connections near an open chord end
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 ... -
Circular hollow section X-connections near an open chord end: stress concentration factors (Postprint)
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 ... -
Chord-end RHS-to-RHS and CHS-to-CHS X-connections with rigid cap plates: Stress concentration factors (Postprint)
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 ... -
Experimental tests on fillet and PJP welds in CHS moment T-connections (Postprint)
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 ... -
Design of Single-Sided Fillet Welds under Transverse Load (Postprint)
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). ... -
Reliability Assessment of Concrete-Filled RHS Beam-Column Design Provisions (Preprint)
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 ...
