Abstract This research investigates the behaviour of novel U‐connector used in cold‐formed steel (CFS) truss‐to‐column connection. The novelty is reflected specially designed connector geometry and connection method within cross‐section thin‐walled C‐profile. installed inside can be exposed to tensile, compressive shearing action. shear thoroughly investigated using laboratory tests. Three diff...

Structural bolts have been widely used in prefabricated construction to connect one steel column another due their and structural benefits. In recent years, innovative column-to-column (PCC) connections using normal developed simplify the process of concrete-filled tubular (CFST) columns transfer upper load bottom through bolt-coupler connection. The PCC connection are under compression. Theref...
