A considerable amount of welding has a negative effect on traditional joints. Experimental and numerical studies of new bolted outer shell joints under low reversed cyclic loading were presented, and a total of four outer shell joints of Hshaped steel beam and square tubular column were tested with experimental parameters, such as sectional dimensions and concrete in the tubular column, to improve the beam-to-column joint form. Moreover, the cooperative deformation behavior between the outer shell and the column wall was discussed. In addition, complementary finite element simulation was used, and its results were compared with the experimental results. On this basis, the main indexes that affected the performance of the joints were analyzed. Results show that the hysteresis curves of the outer shell joints are full, the bearing capacity and initial stiffness are significantly improved with the increase in the sectional dimensions, while the ultimate rotation angles are reduced, degrading the stiffness to 0.13-0.24 times its initial stiffness at the last loading level. Notably, the strain ratios of the outer shell and the adjacent steel tubular column are approximately 1:2.5 in the elastic stage. Parametric analysis shows that the thickness of the outer shell should be approximately 8 mm. Similarly, the 11 mm thick T-steel web with regard to the setting stiffener is significant in improving bearing capacity. The proposed study provides a theoretical reference for the application of outer shell joints in practical engineering.
