Predictive equations for bolted connections
… for the study of this project. For single line bolted connections, the value of the eccentricity coefficient is determined by several independent variables: NR (number of rows in the bolted connection), B (distance between two adjacent bolts in a vertical column), Xo (horizontal distance from …

The Effects of Bolt Spacing on the Performance of Single-Shear Timber Connections Under Reverse-Cyclic Loading
… raised interest in the response of structural connections to dynamic loads. This increased interest led the Consortium of Universities for Research in Earthquake Engineering (CUREE) to develop a testing protocol for reverse-cyclic loading, which involves cycling loads through zero in order to …

Structural assesment of joints in satellites using guided waves
… to launch, the integrity of the panel-to-panel connections would need to be tested for quality in order to show that the craft is flight worthy. The experimental test method presented in this thesis performs a targeted quality assessment of the connections between satellite panels. The test …

Monopile Foundation Offshore Wind Turbine Simulation and Retrofitting
… chances of total structural failure. A retrofit bolted connected has been implemented, and proven to significantly increase the limiting shear capacity of the structure. The research paper in chapter three is focused on developing the retrofit solution into a more applicable design. Using a …

Determination of the Design Parameters for the Route 601 Bridge: A Bridge Containing the Strongwell 36 inch Hybrid Composite Double Web Beam
… which had two goals. First, a deck-to-girder connection was tested to determine if a bolted connection could develop composite action between the girder and the deck. This connection was shown to provide a significant amount of composite action when used with the 8 in. DWB and a composite …

Behavior of bolted connections during and after a fire
… temperature must be understood. Floor beams and bolted connections were studied with both experimental and analytical methods in this research program, which provide useful information on the strength of bolted connection at elevated temperature. Shear strength of A325 and A490 high strength …

Development of the low damage self-centering Sliding Hinge Joint
… Hinge Joint (SHJ) is a low damage beam-column connection that rotates inelastically with minimal damage through sliding in Asymmetric Friction Connections (AFCs). The AFC is a type of slotted bolted connection, which is installed in the bottom web and bottom flange bolt groups. Previous studies …

Investigation of Single and Two Bolt Connections Perpendicular to Grain in Laminated Veneer Lumber
Bolted connection with perpendicular to grain loading has been considered as a high priority research area by Smith and Foliente (2002), for the advancement of the load resistance factor design (LRFD) of connections. The results obtained from the experimental testing of this research will provide …

A study of the rotational behaviour of the bolted connections in the cold-formed steel purlin system
… The rotational behaviour of beam-to-beam bolted connections, which are used between the sections, significantly affects the performance of purlin systems and is hard to predict. The behaviour models currently available for the connections only offer linear or multilinear predictions with …
