Cold-formed high strength steel (CFHSS) X-joints made of square and rectangular hollow
sections (SHS and RHS) brace and chord members were investigated in this study. The …

Numerical investigation and design of cold-formed high strength steel (CFHSS) X-joints with
circular hollow section (CHS) braces and square as well as rectangular hollow section (SHS …

This paper aims to investigate the structural behaviour and static strength of high strength
steel rectangular hollow section (RHS) X-joints under axial compression in the braces …

The study aims to address the lack of design techniques for welded rectangular hollow
sections connections made with offset, ie, where the members of the branch adjacent to the …

The paper presents the results of an experimental program which consists of 15 T and X
truss joints fabricated from grade C450 cold-formed rectangular hollow sections (RHS). The …

It is well known that the current design rules adopted by international design codes such as
ISO 14346 and design guides, eg, the CIDECT design guide No. 3, for chord sidewall failure …

This paper presents a design methodology for equal-width RHS X-joints failing by side wall
buckling, with a particular focus on the effect of a compressive chord pre-load. A …

This paper presents laboratory tests, numerical simulations and web crippling design of high
strength steel unlipped channel sections under interior-two-flange loading. An experimental …

Within the research framework for updating the international design standard ISO 14346 for
hollow section joints, this study examines brace failure and chord sidewall failure in full …

The use of high-strength steels for tubular structures has been forbidden or permitted with
some joint-strength reduction in most representative international standards. Six rectangular …
