Central angle effect on connection behavior of steel box beam-to-circular column

Won-Sup Hwang , Young-Pil Kim , 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
