    Effect of chord length on CHS-RHS T-joints with slender sections.

    The chord length is an essential geometric property that must be defined in the analysis of isolated joints composed of hollow steel sections, as well as the boundary conditions of the test. The analysis of these parameters’ effect on the behavior of joints has been addressed by other studies, mostly with joints between circular hollow sec- tions with compact or semi-compact cross-sections. Recent research about tubular joints has addressed cases with slender sections, where the design of joints containing these sections is still in development. In this context, this study aimed to evaluate the effect of the chord length in the behavior of T-joints between circular hollow section braces and slender rectangular hollow section chords through experimental tests and a numerical study considering the application of axial compression at the braces. The joint behavior was examined through the load-strain and load-deformation curves and the von Mises stress distribution, which allowed the failure mode's determination and the joint resistance value. Chord face failure was observed in the prototypes. It was concluded that a minimum chord length of 0.6m would be the adequate value for the study of the T-joints containing the geometric properties used in this study, which would be equivalent to a chord length five times higher than the width of the cross- section (5b0).

    Structural behaviour of thin-walled CHS-RHS T-joints : experimental and numerical assessment.
    (2021) Guerra, Messias Júnio Lopes; Pereira, Daniel José Rocha; Silva Neto, João Batista da; Nunes, Gabriel Vieira; Sarmanho, Arlene Maria Cunha; Lima, Luciano Rodrigues Ornelas de
    The design of tubular joints with slender cross-sections is currently limited by the validity ranges of established international design standards. Aiming to assess the structural behaviour of tubular joints characterised by thinwalled chord cross-sections, this paper initially reports, an experimental investigation into tubular T-joints consisted of CHS braces welded to thin-walled cold-formed RHS chords, which slenderness values were outside of the current design standard limits. The experimental programme was carried out on 12 cold-formed steel slender cross-section prototypes where the braces were subjected to axial compressive loading. The geometric parameters, including chord and brace thickness and brace diameter were varied. The connected chord face failure was the failure mode observed in all tests. The results of the experimental tests were thoroughly discussed. A second step was used to calibrate a numerical model that was the basis for a parametric analysis involving the most relevant parameters affecting the joint’s behaviour. The obtained joint’s strengths were compared with those forecasted by ISO 14346 developed for compact cross-sections modifying the chord stress function concerning the elastic cross-section modulus and effective cross-section area when slender cross-section chords are concerned. However, this approach leads to scattered predictions, roughly too conservative. Finally, this paper proposes an alternative design approach for the studied joints that are more accurate in predicting their strength when compared to the presented experimental and numerical results.
