Parameter study of the strength reduction factor of axially loaded tubular K-joints by Cao, Yu

“…Based on the new deformation limit, a tension-to-compression factor is validated, of which helps the definition of tension ultimate strength for uncrack K-joints. Effect of Gap is else studied. In the discussion of cracked K-joints, two reduction formulas are deducted with the reference of BS7910:2005 for simple calculation of ultimate strength for cracked tubular K-joints.…”
