EXPERIMENTAL RESEARCH ON TENSILE BEHAVIOR OF GUSSET PLATE CONNECTIONS TO SLOTTED TUBES MEMBER
An experimental program and associated numerical analysis of tensile behavior were carried out on two specimens of gusset plate connections to slotted tubes member. The test showed that the failure of both these cases occurred in the tube where the gusset plate entered it. The analysis shows that the experimental results match well with the finite element analysis results, and current design proposals of America and Canada are applicable to ultimate tensile strength of gusset plate connections to slotted tubes member. The study reveals that shear-lag is serious in the process of tensile loading, and the tensile strength of the connections is restricted by the quality of the return welds at the slotted end.
