Using FE technique, an extensive parameter study is carried out in order to investigate the influence of the chord bending moment on the ultimate axial load capacity of T-joint in RHS. By separating the effect of chord bending moment from the effect of concentrated load, failure of T-Joint in RHS can be described in a clear manner. Using the regression analysis, an interaction formula between the ultimate axial load capacity and the chord bending moment has been obtained which will form a basis for the investigation into the behavior of multiplanar T-joints and the behavior of multiplanar X-joints in RHS.
