Može, Primož (author), Yang, F. (author), Veljkovic, M. (author)An investigation of bolted connections with a specific geometry and bolt arrangement that require high local ductility to achieve the predicted resistances according to the design rules of the new prEN 1993-1-8 is presented. The experimental campaign includes tensile and shear tests on mild steel coupons to calibrate the parameters used for the...journal article 2021
