Abstract:In recent years, simple design methods for high strength steel tubular joints have been proposed by several design standards. According to these standards, the design resistance of high strength steel joints is obtained from the same design equations used for mild steel joints, but the resistance should be reduced properly by applying the material factor and/or the design yield stress. The material factor is a direct reduction factor to design resistance which generally corresponds to 0.9 for 460-grade and 0.8… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
