To resolve this problem, this study proposes a new gusset plate connection passed through HSS column and called through-gusset plate. Also, force transfer mechanism and design procedure are presented for through-gusset plate. To evaluate the cyclic response of the proposed connection, an experimental...
An experimental study has been carried out on slotted hollow structural section (HSS) connections with and without welding at the end of the gusset plate. A total of 30 slotted square and rectangular HSS specimens, with 16 different connection configurations, were investigated for effects of weld ...
The "Slotted-Hidden-Gap (SHG)" connection, in which a notch is created in the gusset plate to overlap the gross area of the tube to eliminate the net area, represents an attractive alternative to traditional connection reinforcements; however, no design guidelines exist for the SHG connection ...
The behavior of a typical connection at the ends of an HSS bracing member was investigated with the finite element method. The connection is effected by means of a gusset plate welded into slots in the HSS member. The paper presents the results of the finite element analyses of 25 ...
Two additional tests were performed in which reinforcement was added at the reduced net section, based on the 2002 AISC seismic provisions (AISC 2002), with the square HSS being slotted for the gusset plate connection. The last test was a pipe brace of similar cross-sectional area. In ...
The orientation of the slot opening, the slot opening length and the gusset plate thickness only have a minor effect on the strength of the slotted connections.; Based on the studies, guidelines on designing an economical full-strength slotted HSS connection for CSA-S16.1-01 without end welding...
gusset plateconnectionsseismic designexperimental studyConcentrically braced frames are stiff, strong systems frequently used to resist wind and seismic loading; in regions of high seismicity in the US special concentrically braced frames (SCBFs) are used. CBF configurations vary, but in low rise or ...
The weld size and length as well as the gusset plate thickness are critical in the design of SHG connections and may hinder the connection performance if poorly designed or fabricated. A laboratory testing program, of four SHG HSS ASTM A1085 (254脳254脳13) brace specimens with different weld...
A parametric finite element analysis study was carried out on slotted rectangular and square hollow structural section (HSS) tension connections without welding at the end of the gusset plate for different weld length ratio, slot orientation, weld size and level of HSS corner strength compared to ...
