Net cross-section design resistance and local ductility of elements made of high strength steel

Numerical investigation of net section failure in stainless steel bolted connections

“…Material over-strength (the ratio of mean to nominal ultimate tensile strengths) and strength variability, together with variability in geometric properties were accounted for in the statistical analyses. The material over-strength and the material strength variability were taken as 1.20 and 0.027 respectively on the basis of industrial data [30], while coefficients of variation of the geometrical properties were taken, from [31], as follows:…”

High strength steel tension splices with one or two bolts

“…The guidance for such analysis is given in EN 1990, Annex D and is on a practical case applied in [9]. The partial factor γ M is determined in two steps.…”

“…Može, Beg and Lopatič [9] previously studied net cross-section failures of members in tension made of steel S690. The study included 43 tests.…”

Flexural behaviour of composite beams with high strength steel

“…Beg and Hladnik [18] studied the buckling behaviour of ten I-section beams made from S690 HS steel, and a slenderness limit for buckling was suggested. For a HS steel connection, Girão Coelho and Bijlaard [19,20] applied S690 HS steel to the web shear panel and end-plate connection in steel frames and tested their mechanical performance, while Puthli and Fleischer [21], Dusicka and Lewis [22], Može et al [23][24][25] and Cruz et al [26] investigated the mechanical performance of connections with HS steel, and design approaches for the bearing strength of bolt holes, slip factors and local ductility were suggested. In addition, researchers at Tsinghua University in China have reported much research on the performance of pure steel structures constructed with HS steel [5], including the seismic behaviour of HS steel under cyclic loading [27].…”
