Parameter study on the static strength of axially loaded multiplanar XX-joints in rectangular hollow sections
- Delft Univ. of Technology (Netherlands)
This paper presents the results of a numerical parameter study on the static behavior of axially loaded multiplanar XX-joints. It forms a part of a research project on multiplanar connections between rectangular hollow sections in which various geometrical joint configurations and load combinations are being investigated. The most important geometrical joint parameters including the brace width over chord width ratio and the chord width over chord thickness ratio have been studied. For each multiplanar joint with a specific set of geometrical joint parameters, five load ratios between the axial loads on the out-of-plane and the in-plane braces are included, so that both multiplanar geometrical stiffening effects and multiplanar load effects can be determined numerically. A set of ultimate load capacity formulae for axially loaded multiplanar XX-joints has been recommended.
