Resistance and elastic stiffness of RHS "T" joints: part I - axial brace loading

Abstract This paper presents a study on the behaviour of welded "T" joints between RHS sections under brace axial loading. A finite element model was developed to investigate the influence of some geometrical variables on the joint's response. The brace load (always in tension) was in...
