Influence of the flexural rigidity of the bolt on the behavior of the T-stub steel connection

Experimental investigation and design of extruded aluminium alloy T-stubs connected by swage-locking pins

“…Owing to the nonlinearity, strain hardening behaviour and limited ductility of the material, the structural behaviour of aluminium alloy T-stubs may differ significantly from that of steel T-stubs, which have been widely studied [6][7][8][9][10][11]. De Matteis and his coworkers conducted 26 tests on welded aluminium alloy T-stub joints connected by bolts under both monotonic loading [12] and cyclic loading [13] and carried out corresponding numerical [14] and parametric analyses [15].…”

The Performance Evaluation of Circular Flange Bolted Connection in Ultra High Performance Fiber Reinforced Concrete Segmented Communication Tower

“…Lately, Pavlovic et al [11] suggested a new design for joints assembly which is applied to a single overlapping friction connection with long opened slotted hole. Abidelah et al [12] reported the flexural rigidity of bolts and its effects on the behavior of steel joints. Based on engineering design philosophy, tubular connections are generally assumed to be rigid or pinned.…”

01.16: Fatigue behaviour analysis of bolts in tee‐stub steel connections

“…They show a complex mechanical behaviour, because the load transfer is done partially by the contact between the connected parts (bolts, plates and I or H rolled sections). Their mechanical behaviour, represented by a non-linear moment-rotation curve [1], can be described by three main parameters, which are the stiffness, the resistance and the rotation capacity. The non-linear behaviour is due generally to the evolution of the contact areas, the plastic behaviour of the materials and the large displacements.…”
