Özet

This paper presents the experimental results of twenty full scale specimens of steel bolted connections beam-to-column with top-and-seat angles in six groups, labelled L91-tp8, L82-tp8, L73-tp8, L91-tp10, L82-tp10 and L73-tp10 groups (L=length of top-and-seat angle, tp=stiffener thickness of top-and-seat angle), under static loading. This study was undertaken to analyse the influence of angles and beams with stiffeners on the behaviour of the beam-to-column joints. The main parameters observed are the evolution of the resistance, the stiffness, the rotation capacity, the ductility of a joint, and the energy dissipation capacity. The aim was to provide necessary data to improve the Eurocode 3.
