“…The concrete infill absorbs some of the applied energy and reduces tube wall deformations which results in less stress concentration. Several researches have been reported in the literature on the fatigue behaviour of concrete filled steel tubular (CFST) T-joints (Chen et al, 2010;Jardine, 1993;Mashiri and Zhao, 2010;Tong et al, 2007aTong et al, , 2007bWang et al, 2013), K-joints (Sakai et al, 2004;Tong et al, 2008;Udomworarat et al, 2002Udomworarat et al, , 2000, Y-joints (Xu et al, 2015), KT-joints (Xu et al, 2015), N-joints (Kim et al, 2014) and X-joints (Qian et al, 2014). Two methods have been successfully used in estimating fatigue life of tubular members, namely the classification method and the hot spot stress method.…”
