Numerical Simulation of T Joints Constructed from Hollow Steel Sections
Source abstract
Abstract
Welded structural hollow sections are becoming increasingly used in contemporary civil engineering buildings. More specific design techniques are needed for connections in steel structures with welded structural hollow sections than for traditional connections made with gusset plates. At the connecting site, stress and local deformations show very complex, non-linear behaviors. The application of non-linear numerical analyses to determine the ultimate bearing capacity of “T” connections was demonstrated in this study. A non-linear material model was used in the analysis. In order to validate the applicable steel modeling method, a comparative study between experimentally obtained results and analytically and numerically computed ultimate bearing capacities was carried out. The comparison showed good agreement between the numerical and experimental results and pointed out the highly conservative design of such joints was obtained using the analytical solution.
