Abstract:In order to study the failure modes and hysteretic behaviors of square tubular T-joints, three specimens were made to conduct the cyclic loading test. The test stimulated the constrain condition with hinge connection of both ends of chord member, and the brace was subjected to axial cyclic loading. Based on the experiment, the specimen consisting of small-geometry brace showed a good ductility compared with the big one, and the obvious plastic deformation occurred at the intersection between chord and brace me… Show more
