Faculty Civil Engineering and Geosciences Department Stevin Laboratory Date 1992-01-01 Abstract This work presents the results of experimental and numerical research on the fatigue behaviour of T- and X-joints between square hollow sections of which the brace is welded to the face of the chord, without any additional stiffeners. The work has been carried out in the framework of the CIDECT programme 7K "Fatigue behaviour ofuniplanar joints", and an earlier ECSC programme "Fatigue strength of welded unstiffened RHS joints in latticed structures and Vierendeel girders" (CECA Convention nr. 721 O-SA/111). Furthermore, experimental results of the CIDECT programme 7H "The low cycle fatigue behaviour of axially loaded T -joints between rectangular hollow sections" have been used in this work. The aim of the research programmes is to establish a better design method for the fatigue strength of joints in square hollow sections, based on the hot spot stress method. The results are to be proposed for inclusion in Eurocode 3.
