Static Strength of Tubular K-Joints Reinforced with Outer Plates under Axial Loads at Ambient and Fire Conditions
In this paper, the effect of the outer reinforcing plate on the initial stiffness, ultimate strength, and failure mechanisms of tubular K-joints under axial load at ambient and different fire conditions is evaluated. In the first phase, a finite element (FE) model was generated and verified by 13 ex...
