Experimental and numerical investigation of gap K-joints of rectangular hollow section trusses

This paper is concerned with investigating of the plastic behaviour on gap K-joints of truss girders, made from thin-walled rectangular hollow section members. An experimental study was carried out on a full-scale girder under a concentrated load on two central nodes. A numerical analysis was carri...
