Abstract Development of blind bolting systems offers an alternative solution of jointing steel
beams to concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) columns that only allow one-side access. This …

In this review paper, first of all, an analysis of the circular economy and its application to
steel structures is carried out. It highlights the need to apply the philosophy of Design for …

The structural performance and design of concrete-filled double skin tubular (CFDST) cross-
sections with square stainless steel outer tubes are studied herein. A total of 17 four-point …

In this paper, the structural response and design method of Extended T-head Square-neck
One-side Bolts (Extended TSOBs) bolted I-beams to Concrete Filled Steel Tubular (CFST) …

Abstract Tensile tests and Finite Element (FE) analysis were conducted on the Thread-fixed
One-side Bolts (TOBs) bolted T-stub with arc-shaped flange to steel tube in this paper …

Mark bars drawn on the surfaces of bolted joints are widely used to indicate the severity of
loosening. The automatic and accurate determination of the loosening angle of mark bolted …

Internal stiffeners can effectively enhance the structural performance of Thread-fixed One-
side Bolts (TOBs) bolted steel beam to circular tubular column connection by increasing the …

Blind-bolts offer a feasible way for connecting a steel member with closed-hollow section to
a member with open-section. However, the relatively higher cost of the available blind-bolts …

The clamping force of the bolted joint is a key factor in maintaining its service performance.
However, when the torque wrench is removed after tightening, there will always be a certain …

On-site construction projects typically employ staggered fastener patterns. This article
describes the application of Hollo Bolts (HB). It also highlights the effectiveness of using …
