FEM Modeling of End-Plate Assembling Bolt Connections of CHS Profiles

Article Preview

Abstract:

Two different numerical models of the common truss-type assembling joints of CHS (circular hollow section) profiles were created – simplified model of joint and more accurate model which corresponds to the experimental specimens. Models with different end-plate thicknesses and consequently with different failure modes were solved. The results obtained from numerical models were compared with the analytical solution of such joints using the Eurocode procedure recommended in EN 1993-1-8. These results are planned to be verified and further developed based on experimental results.
