A Model for Prediction of Fracture Initiation in Finite Element Analysis of Bolted Steel Connections
… of fracture initiation in bolted structural steel connections using damage mechanics. A material failure envelope has previously been developed for aluminum extrusions using the IDS (instability, ductile, and shear) criterion. The IDS criterion is a damage mechanics based model for defining …

Prediction of cracking in steel joint subjected to high cyclic strains
… In this work, the behaviour of a fully welded steel connection subjected to cyclic displacement loading, is analysed using the strain-life theories. Based on the results, it can be concluded that: FE modelling, in conjunction with strain life equations can approximately estimate the cycles to …

The Development of a Steel Embedded Connection for Double-Tee Beams
… Pittsfield, Massachusetts. JVI has developed a steel embedded connection, referred to as a shooter. The shooter is provided in capacities, a 40 kip capacity shooter and a 50 kip capacity shooter. This steel connection is embedded near the end of a double-tee prestressed girder. Double-tee …

Development of a Novel Cold-Formed Steel Truss System
… describes the development of a novel cold-formed steel truss system. It includes a novel cold-formed steel connection and a channel section, which are combined into a truss system that is used as medium to long-span (15 to over 20 m) light steel framed trusses for industrial and commercial …

Serviceability Design of Long-Span Timber Beams Considering Semi-Rigid Beam-Column Connections
… restraint provided by real beam-column connections. This simplification often results in overly conservative designs, inefficient material use, and underutilisation of structural capacity. Addressing this gap, this thesis investigates the influence of semi-rigid connection stiffness on …

Structural Mechanics Characterization of Steel Intermeshed Connections
… presents the efforts to develop a new class of steel connection named the “Intermeshed Connection” for gravity load resistance in frame structures. The thesis investigates the performance of the connection system using physical testing and numerical simulation, as well as methods for its design. …

Behaviours of steel connections with unfitted stiffeners
Steel beam-to-column connections are fundamental to the structural integrity and safety of steel-framed buildings. A critical issue arises when gaps exist between stiffeners and connected elements, referred to as unfitted stiffeners, which introduce uncertainties in the load-bearing capacity and …

On the Seismic Performance of Skewed Special Moment Frame Reduced Beam Section Connections
… features. Reduced beam section (RBS) connections are popular SMF connection details developed following the Northridge earthquake to limit brittle fractures within connection welds. Current American Institute of Steel Construction (ASIC) provisions (i.e. AISC 341-16) provide …

Buckling-Restrained Braced Frame Connection Design and Testing
<p>As typically designed, the beam-column-brace connections of buckling-restrained braced steel frames have undesirable failure modes that compromise the integrity and performance of the frames and are costly to repair. To decrease the time and resources needed to repair the frames following an …
