FINITE ELEMENT MODELLING OF GAP JOINTS WITH SEPARATED RHS DOUBLE CHORDS.
Abstract
Finite element modelling of the elasto-plastic behaviour of separated double chord gap joints of hollow structural sections (HSS) is presented. The joint has the form of a short beam that sandwiches two reactive stub columns with a central load column between the inner webs of the chord members. The model treats the HSS member as composed of a thin plate representing the inner web and a channel representing top and bottom flanges and the outer …
