  • 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 ...
  • Stress concentration factors for RHS-to-RHS X-connections near an open chord end 

    Daneshvar, S., Sun, M. & Tousignant, K. (2020). Stress concentration factors for RHS-to-RHS X-connections near an open chord end. Journal of Constructional Steel Research 175: 106352.
    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 ...
