Development and assessment of response and strength models for bolted steel connections using refined nonlinear 3D finite element analysis
The difficulty in developing bolted connection designs lies in the limitations in existing methods to characterize their strength and typically nonlinear response due to the complex interaction of the bolts and structural components. Yet it is necessary for the engineer to be able to determine the...
