Exposure to load and offshore environment degrades the load-bearing capacity of tubular
joints, necessitating reinforcement of these joints. Reinforcement is sometimes required for …

One of the alternatives to enhance the strength of a tubular joint involves the application of
doubler or collar plates as reinforcement. In order to gain understanding of the effect of plate …

This paper presents the failure pattern, ultimate static strength and detailed behavior of steel
tubular T-joints strengthened by fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) obtained from numerical …

In the companion paper, the results of 12 tests on reinforced and unreinforced tubular T-
joints subjected to axial brace loading were presented. The current study reports the finite …

In this study, the Local Joint Flexibility (LJF) of tubular T/Y-joints with doubler plate under in-
plane bending (IPB) load is investigated. In the first step, a finite element (FE) model was …

In the present paper, the static strength of steel collar plate reinforced tubular T/Y-joints is
numerically investigated. A finite element (FE) model was developed and the results were …

This paper presents the results of a numerical and experimental research program
conducted on T and Y shaped steel tubular connections made of Circular Hollow Sections …

In the present paper, the effect of the collar plate on the static capacity of circular hollow
section (CHS) X-joints under brace compression is experimentally and numerically …

In the present paper, results of comprehensive finite element (FE) analyses performed on
210 generated models of T/Y-joints strengthened with doubler plate are presented. The …

This paper studies the static strength of circular hollow section (CHS) T/Y-joints reinforced
with collar plates subjected to axial tension load. The SOLID186 in ANSYS was utilized to …
