Q690 high strength steel T-stub tensile behavior: Experimental research and theoretical analysis

An experimental study on tensile behavior of welded T-stub joint with high strength steel (HSS) under monotonic tensile load was conducted. This experiment program includes twelve welded T-stub joints with different parameters, namely, the bolt diameter, strength grades, bolt distance from the web, bolt edge distance and stiffener. Plastic bearing capacity and initial stiffness of the joints with the different parameters were determined and...
