It was expected that strength and stiffness of the joint would be significantly affected by spalling of the\u0000concrete core due to transverse action, which would limit rotation of the joint and bearing capacity of the column.\u0000However, the concrete hollow core had no prominent signs of fracture – bending strength of the joint was determined\u0000by punching shear of the steel tube wall. Further result analysis has shown that, in reference to Eurocode 3, the joint\u0000may be classified as semi-rigid and that non-uniform initial contact between the end-plates and the column can reduce\u0000stiffness of the joint. In addition to this, it has been found that the analytical Eurocode component method is in close\u0000agreement with the attained test results, but its feasibility should be validated against additional tests with other failure\u0000modes.","PeriodicalId":169478,"journal":{"name":"The proceedings of the 13th international conference \"Modern Building Materials, Structures and Techniques\" (MBMST 2019)","volume":"240 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122502524","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
