The analytical method for the calculation of properties a bolted joint established by structural Eurocodes proposes T-stub as component characterization tension and compression zones in moment joints. In this article, review state art on is developed, where works developed since it was initially defined, from perspectives formulation, experimentation numerical simulation are summarized discusse...

Because of it’s economy, high strength-to-weight ratio and stiffness-to-weight ratio, wood can compete with steel and reinforced concrete as a construction material in a market with an increasing demand for large structures such as community buildings, gymnasiums, schools and bridges. However, continued acceptance or expansion in this market, particularly in high wind or seismic areas, depends ...

This paper presents cyclic behaviour of bolted and hybrid–combined bonded fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) beam-to-column joints between I-shaped members using steel FRP cleats. Five full-scale tests are carried out to study moment-rotation behaviour, response, failure patterns. The test parameters include position cleat (flange or combined web flange), fastening method (bolting hybrid–combining ...

This paper presents a comparative study on single-bolted double-lap joints with steel bolts and glass fibre reinforced polymer (GFRP) bolt. Three types of including plain, galvanised stainless newly developed GFRP bolt were considered. Two preload levels practiced in the experiments, i.e. snug-tight full-tensioning. The torque-preload relationships for different investigated reference to intern...
