Research on the Ultimate Bearing Capacity for Steel Tubular Transmission Tower’s Joints with Annular Plate

Abstract:

This paper investigated the ultimate bearing capacity of tubular-gusset joints with 1/4 annular plate or none annular plate based on the experiment and FEM methods. We calculated various impacts of different annular plate parameters on the ultimate bearing capacity. And also, the relationship between of them was summarized.
