Experimental Study on Hysteretic Behavior of Double-Plate Reinforced Overlapped K-Joints

The lifetime of hollow section tubular joints frequently can be shortened owing to the occurrence of the welded cracks and the plastic deformation of chords under the cyclic loading, because of the deficient radial bearing capacity of the steel tube. To avoid such failures, this paper proposes a nov...
