Stress concentration factors for RHS-to-RHS X-connections near an open chord end
(Elsevier, 2020)
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 ...
Fillet weld effective lengths in CHS X-connections. II: Finite element modelling, parametric study and design
(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 weld effective lengths in CHS X-connections. I: Experimentation
(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 ...
Numerical Investigation of Fillet Welds in HSS-to-Rigid End-Plate Connections
(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 ...
Experimental Evaluation of Design Procedures for Fillet Welds to Hollow Structural Sections
(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 ...
Design of fillet welds in RHS-to-RHS moment T-connections under branch in-plane bending
(Elsevier, 2019)
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 ...
Fillet welds around circular hollow sections
(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 ...
