Title

Behaviour of High Strength Steel Welded Beam-to-Column Joints with Beams of Unequal Height

Authors

Abstract

Joints have a significant role on the global behavior of a steel structure. Although the most current joint typologies are already covered by several design codes, there are others, such as internal joints with beams of unequal height, which are not yet normalized. The aim of this paper is to contribute to a methodology based on the “component method” of EC 3 for this new type of node with high-strength steel S690. Finite element models calibrated with experimental results were developed, as well as analytical models tailored for the new type of joint and high-strength steel. Some modifications of state-of-the-art formulations (design rules) are proposed.
