The static strength of uniplanar and multiplanar I-beam to tubular column connections loaded with in-plane bending moments
- Delft Univ. of Technology (Netherlands)
This paper describes the behavior and static strength of uniplanar and multiplanar connections between I-section beams and circular hollow section columns loaded with in-plan bending moments. The out-of-plane I-beams are unloaded. A parameter investigation has been carried out which covers the most important geometrical parameters. 24 Uniplanar and 24 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. With these models parametric formulae are set up. The parameters in the formulae are determined with regression analyses, using the finite element results. Good agreement is found between the strength as predicted by the formulae and the finite element results. The derived formulae and the results of the finite element analyses are also compared with existing design formulae and experimental data.
