Cyclic performance of bonded sleeve beam-column connections for FRP tubular sections

This paper presents an investigation on the cyclic performance of bonded sleeve connections for joining tubular FRP beams and columns. Specimens with different endplate thickness and number of bolts are examined under cyclic loading. The hysteretic moment-rotation responses of specimens, including rotational stiffness, ultimate moment and rotation capacity, and local strain responses are experimentally obtained and comparatively investigated....
