Abstract

The use of tubular joints (TJs) is evident, although they are commonly utilized in different areas, such as buildings, bridges, offshore structures, and renewable energy structures. Many studies have been conducted on TJs to better understand their behavior from different perspectives, namely using the Stress Concentration Factor (SCF), Hot-Spot Stress (HSS), Fatigue, Stress Intensity Factor (SIF), Degree of Bending (DoB), Local Joint Flexibility (LJF), among others. This paper reviews the experimental and numerical studies published in Web of Science from 1965 until 2024. Several studies have been considered in order to enhance comprehension and summarize existing design guidelines, recommendations, and codes. It was found that single-planar joints had more interest among scholars, especially T, Y, and K-joints, therefore, multi-planar joints need extensive investigations. In addition, the most common studied loadings are axial, in-plane bending, and out-of-plane bending. Hence, to have more accurate results, it is suggested to direct future research to modeling and analysis of the whole platform under environmental conditions.

海洋结构中的管状连接分析：全面回顾

尽管管状连接（TJ）通常用于建筑、桥梁、近海结构和可再生能源结构等不同领域，但其用途显而易见。为了从不同角度更好地了解 TJ 的行为，人们对其进行了许多研究，包括应力集中因子 (SCF)、热点应力 (HSS)、疲劳、应力集中因子 (SIF)、弯曲度 (DoB)、局部接头柔性 (LJF) 等。本文回顾了从 1965 年到 2024 年发表在 Web of Science 上的实验和数值研究。为了更好地理解和总结现有的设计指南、建议和规范，本文考虑了多项研究。研究发现，学者们对单平面接头更感兴趣，尤其是 T、Y 和 K 形接头，因此需要对多平面接头进行广泛研究。此外，最常见的研究载荷是轴向载荷、平面内弯曲载荷和平面外弯曲载荷。因此，为了获得更准确的结果，建议将未来的研究导向环境条件下整个平台的建模和分析。

期刊介绍： This journal aims to provide a medium for presentation and discussion of the latest developments in research, design, fabrication and in-service experience relating to marine structures, i.e., all structures of steel, concrete, light alloy or composite construction having an interface with the sea, including ships, fixed and mobile offshore platforms, submarine and submersibles, pipelines, subsea systems for shallow and deep ocean operations and coastal structures such as piers.
