  • 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 ...

  • Design of Single-Sided Fillet Welds under Transverse Load (Postprint) 

    Published Version: Thomas, J. H.* & Tousignant, K. (2022). Design of single-sided fillet welds under transverse load. Journal of Structural Engineering, American Society of Civil Engineers 148(9): 04022118-1 – 04022118-16.
    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). ...

  • Experimental tests on fillet and PJP welds in CHS moment T-connections (Postprint) 

    Published Version: Yang, Z.* & Tousignant, K. (2022). Experimental tests on fillet and PJP welds in CHS moment T-connections. Journal of Constructional Steel Research 196: 107405-1 – 107405-13.
    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 ...

  • Reliability Assessment of Concrete-Filled RHS Beam-Column Design Provisions (Preprint) 

    Published Version: Rahbarimanesh, F., Tousignant, K. (2023). Reliability Assessment of Concrete-Filled RHS Beam-Column Design Provisions. In: Gupta, R., et al. Proceedings of the Canadian Society of Civil Engineering Annual Conference 2022. CSCE 2022. Lecture Notes in Civil Engineering, vol 348. Springer, Cham. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-34159-5_3
    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 ...
