Cyclic behaviour of a novel steel beam-to-prefabricated CFST column connection with threaded sleeve bolts

As the conventional connection configurations of the steel beam to concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) column are complex and unfriendly in practice, the application of the blind bolting system in steel beam-to-CFST column connection has been investigated in recent years. However, the blind bolted connections to CFST columns are generally classified as being pinned or semi-rigid and of partial strength due to the susceptibility to outward...
