FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS OF RHS T-JOINTS.
Abstract
The finite element method is used to model the behavior of rectangular hollow section T-joints beyond the elastic limit, and is applied to determine their ultimate and working strengths. Punching shear and rotational stiffnesses under branch axial force and bending moment have also been calculated. The unreinforced and haunch type joints were analyzed in the study.
