Finite Element Analysis of Concrete-Filled Rectangular Steel Tubular Y-Connections under Tension

Article Preview

Abstract:

Rectangular steel truss Y-connections, whose chord is filled in concrete, is described. The behavior of Y-connections include hollow structural section and concrete-filled section loaded in tension is analyzed by means of finite element analysis. It is shown that there is a significant improvement in strength and stiffness of Y-connections with concrete-filled chord.
