“…This fact allows structures made with clamped joints to be completely reusable (reusing profiles and clamps). The construction of removable and reconfigurable structures is a growing trend in other areas such as modular aluminum systems [ 6 , 7 ] or scaffolding structures [ 8 , 9 ], where they are already being used. However, further development, research and tests are still necessary for commercial solutions to standard steel profiles, such as clamped joints.…”

This work analyzes the difference in stiffness in a steel laboratory structure using clamped joints or bolted joints and analyzes if the stiffness varies in the same way when the frame is subjected to external dynamic loads that bring the joint materials to their yield strength. To make this comparison, the differences between clamp joint and bolted joint were evaluated using a novel methodology based on the analysis of the structure’s natural frequencies from accelerometers. To perform this comparison, several laboratory tests were carried out on a frame made by clamped joints and the same frame made by bolted joints, using a set of tests on a medium-scale shake table for this purpose. The results achieved have verified the methodology used as adequate.
