“…Cao et al (1998) developed design formulae for such joints using a plastic mechanism analysis. Transverse plate to RHS joints are less flexible than those with longitudinal plates because of a higher â value, which leads to different failure modes (Davies and Packer, 1982;Wardenier et al, 1981). There are four basic failure modes for such joints (a) chord face plastification (b) local yielding of plate (c) chord punching shear (d ) chord side wall failure.…”

The first edition of the International Institute of Welding (IIW) subcommission XV-E design recommendations on static strength of tubular joints was published in 1981. The second edition was published in 1989, which was the basis for the Cidect (International Committee for the Development and Study of Tubular Structures) design guides on the static strength of tubular joints in the early 1990s. Extensive research on tubular joints has been carried out all over the world in the last 20 years. There has hence been a need to update the current static design rules. This paper summarises the third edition of the IIW static design procedure for welded hollow-section joints. It also briefly describes the major changes made to the previous edition and the relevant research background in terms of validity ranges (yield stress), extension of recommendations (moment resistance and multiplanar joints), formulae harmonisation, chord stress function, overlap joints, and plate to tube joints. Two Cidect design guides were published recently, where the new (2009) IIW static design recommendations were adopted. The previous (1989) IIW static design recommendations still exist in many codes/guides. Explanation is given as to which codes/guides follow the IIW (1989) rules and which follow the IIW (2009) rules, and hence what the major differences are between them.

“…Consequently the flexural capacity of the connections under this type of failure mode should be analyzed. Based on the method of Davies and Parker [9], a flexural capacity analysis model under punching shear failure mode was proposed, as shown in Fig. 12.…”

The tension and compression zones of moment plate connections were studied separately by testing branch plate and hollow structural section connections under each type of loading. Square hollow section flanges were reinforced by doubler plates fillet-welded all around. The results from 13 specimens tested in tension indicate that branch plate to reinforcing plate width ratio is an important parameter in joint behaviour. The dominant failure mode was punching shear of the reinforcing plate. The importance of reinforcing plate and HSS wall thicknesses was apparent from the results of 13 specimens tested in the compression series. The capacities of specimens in all but one test in this series were limited by failure of the HSS webs.
