Central angle effect on connection behavior of steel box beam-to-circular column
Won-Sup Hwang, Young-Pil Kim and Tae-Yang Yoon
Abstract
This paper presents the experimental results on the strength behavior and failure modes of box beam-to-circular column connections in steel piers. Previous research introduced parameters such as joint central angles, extension of horizontal stiffeners, and use of equivalent web depth, which ignored strength behavior and failure modes of box beam-to-circular column connections. The use of equivalent web depth d2 is not reasonable when central angle
Key Words
box beam-to-circular column connection; central angle; equivalent web depth; failure modes; concrete-filled; yield strength.
