Structural behaviour of the aluminium alloy Temcor joints and Box-I section hybrid gusset joints under combined bending and shear

Numerical study and design of swage-locking pinned aluminium alloy shear connections

“…In addition, the use of swage-locking pins can avoid the thread galling failure which is commonly seen in conventional stainless steel bolts [15]. These above advantages greatly increased the application of swage-locking pins in aluminium alloy structures, typical examples of which are the Rafel Gallery in Shanghai [16] and the Usnisa Palace in Nanjing [17]. The experimental investigation in the companion paper [16] revealed that the existing codified methods [18][19][20] fail to explicitly consider the influence of material characteristics and friction on the resistances of swage-locking pinned aluminium alloy shear connections, resulting in somewhat inaccurate resistance predictions.…”

Flexural behaviour of 7A04-T6 high-strength aluminium alloy SHS and RHS beams under moment gradient

“…The existing maximum height of extruded 6061-T6 aluminium alloy box-section beams is 550 mm and is used in Usnisa Palace on the Niushou Mountain in Nanjing, China [5]. With the development of structural engineering toward a large-span, complex and heavy loading environment, and the urgent demands for rapidly assembled temporary structures in case of suddenly happened natural disasters or public health events, new requirements are put forward on the high-performance of aluminium alloy materials.…”

Experimental and numerical study on the mechanical properties of honeycomb plate box-type hollow roof structure

“…Zhao et al (2021Zhao et al ( , 2022 studied the mechanical properties of a novel modular joint of single-layer aluminium alloy lattice shell and proposed a simplified calculation formula for their ultimate bearing capacity. Zhang et al (2021Zhang et al ( , 2022 studied the structural performance of traditional aluminium alloy Temcor (TAAT) joints and novel Box-I section hybrid gusset (ABI) joints connected by swage-locking pins. The results showed that the novel Box-I section hybrid gusset (ABI) joints connected by swagelocking pins has good potential for application in aluminium alloy spatial reticulated structures.…”
