Downloaded 0 times Technical Papers Abstract A method based on elastic stability analysis to design bolted single shear lap (SSL) connections, which are traditionally used for hollow structural section (HSS) bracing members, is proposed in this paper. The method includes connections with different lap plate thicknesses. An approximate nonlinear analysis method is also presented to mimic the inelastic buckling and post-buckling response of the connections.
Downloaded 8 times Technical Papers Abstract An analytical model was proposed to predict the monotonic load-deformation behavior of bolted angles used in semirigid steel frame connections. This model was validated using the results of 30 pull tests performed on bolted angle specimens with 10 different geometrical configurations. The model employed elastic-plastic analysis to follow the behavior upon formation of up to four plastic hinges involved in the entire yielding mechanism.
