An equivalent T-stub model is an essential tool for the prediction of the behaviour of steel
bolted connections. It is usually employed to represent the tension-loaded components of …

Semirigid bolted endplate moment connections are widely used in construction practice.
These connections are mainly designed to resist gravity, wind, and low to moderate seismic …

This paper presents an experimental investigation into the structural response of wire arc
additively manufactured (WAAM) steel T-stub connections subjected to tension. A total of …

The bolts and their arrangement strongly influence stiffness, strength and ductility of T-Stub
connections. Preloaded bolts are typically adopted to improve the stiffness and limit the …

An experimental investigation of eight statically loaded extended end plate moment
connections was undertaken at the Delft University of Technology to provide insight into the …

The results of 32 tests on bolted T-stub connections made up of welded plates are presented
and discussed. Although T-stubs have been used for many years to model the tension zone …

In this paper, the friction coefficient and the cyclic response of different interfaces for friction
devices are investigated by means of experimental tests under displacement control. In …

The work presented in this paper represents the first step of a research activity aimed at the
prediction of the plastic rotation supply of partial-strength bolted connections, starting from …

High-strength friction bolts in engineering are affected by corrosion, fatigue and other factors
in long-term use, and preload loss is a common phenomenon in engineering. In order to …

At elevated temperatures, an experimental study on 28 high strength steel (HSS) T-stubs
specimens was carried out by tensile tests, to reveal the mechanical performance of HSS T …
