AbstractThe article presents concept of II generation N type RHS plug & play truss connection made in non-welded technology. Three connections of the representative truss are analyzed. Resistance calculations of these truss joints, using the component method, are shown. Test results and the theoretical resistance of these connections are compared.
The article presents a new concept of II generation N type RHS plug & play truss connection, made in non‐welded technology. In II generation of such joints the tension bracing is not made with two flat bars on both sides of RHS chord and connected with a screw passing through the chord (I generation), but with single round rod going through the clamping blocks and threaded at the ends what allows to screw and fix it to the blocks. Representative connections of such truss are analyzed. Concept of resistance calculations of these joints, using the component method, is shown. Test results and the theoretical resistance follows the different modes of the connections failure are compared.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
