Structural behaviour of HSS hollow section K‐joints – Experimental investigations and advanced numerical modelling using damage mechanics Open
Welded hollow section trusses are commonly used in structures such as pedestrian bridges and crane girders. High‐strength steels (HSS) enable increased load capacity and reduced weight, but their limited ductility restricts plastic stress …

Steel and composite bridges – Enabling sustainable solutions Open
Sustainable bridges are characterised by three main aspects: saving resources by an efficient construction, allowing for a lifelong use of bridges by optimal detailing in view of fatigue and flexible design concepts for strengthening and a…

Vorschau: Stahlbau 10/22 Open
In April 2020, the world's first submerged full size slip joint was installed in the Borssele V offshore wind farm.An extensive qualification programme in terms of numerical modelling and testing (see photo) was set up prior to installing …

Fatigue of welded tubular K‐joints made up of circular hollow sections Open
This article deals with the fatigue behaviour of thick‐walled welded K‐joints made up of circular hollow sections (CHS). Two important aspects of the investigations were the extension of the application range to large CHS and the developme…
