The bolts and their arrangement strongly influence stiffness, strength and ductility of T-Stub
connections. Preloaded bolts are typically adopted to improve the stiffness and limit the …

High strength preloadable bolt assemblies are commonly adopted in beam-to-column bolted
connections. Nowadays, two systems of high strength preloadable grade 10.9 bolt assembly …

The recent earthquakes have underlined the need for more advanced design philosophies
able to avoid or reduce direct and indirect costs related to the occurrence of destructive …

A comprehensive experimental study on unstiffened T-stubs was conducted in order to
examine the effects of parameters influencing the capacities of the T-stubs. Pursuant to this …

The design-by-analysis approach lays the foundation for the next generation of structural
design standards in which the strength and structural safety check are performed in a single …

In order to provide a contribution towards a better understanding of the physical phenomena
involved in the design of steel structures under impacts, the present paper focuses on the …

The analysis and modelling of the ultimate behaviour of beam-to-column connections is
certainly one of the most studied topics in the field of steel structures. In particular, seismic …

The paramount role of beam-to-column joints on the seismic response of MRFs is
universally recognised and many studies have been devoted to the improvement of their …

This paper presents a combined experimental and numerical study on stainless steel end-
plate connections, with an emphasis placed on their ultimate behaviour and rotation …

The aim of this paper is to investigate the hysteretic behaviour of stainless steel bolted T-
stub connections. A total of 22 bolted T-stubs in austenitic grade EN 1.4301 were tested …
