Parametric study on the static strength of axially loaded multiplanar plate to circular column connections
- Delft Univ. of Technology (Netherlands)
This paper describes the behavior and static strength of multiplanar welded connections between plate to circular hollow section column connections loaded with axial loads on the plates. Five different ratios between the axial compression load on the in-plane and out-of-plane plates are investigated. The load on opposite plates is symmetrical. A parameter investigation has been carried out which covers the most important geometrical parameters. 15 Multiplanar connections are analyzed using both geometrical and material non-linear finite element analyses. Analytical models are derived on the bases of the ring model approach. Based upon these models a parametric formula is created. The parameters in the formula are determined with regression analyses, using the finite element results. Good agreement is found between the strength as predicted by the formula and the finite element results.
