  • Design of fillet welds in RHS-to-RHS moment T-connections under branch in-plane bending 

    Yaghoubshahi, M., Sun, M. & Tousignant, K. (2019). Design of fillet welds in RHS-to-RHS moment T-connections under branch in-plane bending. Journal of Constructional Steel Research 159: 122-133.
    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 ...

  • Experimental Evaluation of Design Procedures for Fillet Welds to Hollow Structural Sections 

    Packer, J. A., Sun, M. & Tousignant, K. (2016). Experimental evaluation of design procedures for fillet welds to hollow structural sections. Journal of Structural Engineering, American Society of Civil Engineers 142(5): 04016007-1 – 04016007-12. https://doi.org/10.1061/(ASCE)ST.1943-541X.0001467
    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
