Static behavior of offshore two-planar tubular KT-joints under axial loading at fire-induced elevated temperatures

A total of 540 nonlinear steady-state finite element analyses were performed to study the influence of temperature and dimensionless geometrical parameters (β, γ, θ, and τ) on the ultimate strength, failure modes, and initial stiffness of two-planar tubular KT-joints. The joints were analyzed under...
