Mechanical Performance of Tube-Gusset X-Joints Enhanced by Ring Plates

This study aims to investigate the effect of the ring plate on the mechanical performance of X-type tube-gusset joints. The failure modes, ultimate strengths, and failure mechanisms of X-joints with ring plates were investigated through experiments and finite element analyses. The results indicated...
