  • Chord-end RHS-to-RHS and CHS-to-CHS X-connections with rigid cap plates: Stress concentration factors (Postprint) 

    Published Version: Sun, M., Tousignant, K., Nejad, A. Z. & Daneshvar, S. (2021). Chord-end RHS-to-RHS and CHS-to-CHS X-connections with rigid cap plates: Stress concentration factors. Journal of Constructional Steel Research 179: 106567-1 – 106567-18.
    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) 

    Published Version: Nejad, A. Z., Sun, M. & Tousignant, K. (2021). Circular hollow section X-connections near an open chord end: Stress concentration factors. Journal of Constructional Steel Research 177: 106454-1 – 106454-14.
    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 ...
