Behaviour of composite beam–column flush end-plate connections subjected to low-probability, high-consequence loading

Experimental investigation of extended end plate joints to concrete-filled steel tubular columns

“…Wang et al [24,25] studied the static and hysteretic behaviour of flush end plate joints to circular or square CFST columns using Hollo-bolts, and concluded that the blind bolted flush end plate connection behaves in a semi-rigid and partial strength manner according to EC3 specification [26]. Mirza and Uy [27] described the test results of composite flush end plate connections to square CFST columns with Ajax fasteners subjected to low-probability, high-consequence loading. Elghazouli et al [28,29] reported a series of test programme to examine the behaviour of angle connections between open beams and tubular columns by means of Lindapter Hollo-bolts.…”

Seismic behaviour of a through-beam connection between concrete-filled steel tubular columns and reinforced concrete beams

“…For concrete in tension, the tensile stress is assumed to increase linearly with the strain until the concrete cracks. After cracking, the tensile stress then decreases linearly to zero at a strain of 10 times the strain at cracking [24]. For modelling the steel, flow theory using von Mises' yield criterion is adopted.…”

Development of Connections to Concrete-Filled Rectangular Tubular Columns

“…It was observed that frames with the PR composite connections showed superior performance. Mirza [50] investigated the performance of beam-column flush end-plate connections when using blind bolts. The strength on medium rise buildings in regions of medium to high seismicity was studied.…”
