Yang, F. (author), Veljkovic, M. (author), Liu, Yuqing (author)Failure of bolts exposed to tension is generally avoided in the design of bolted connections due to the smaller deformation capacity of bolts than the connected plates. This is one of the reasons why few studies focus on the tensile failure behaviour of bolts. However, failure behaviour of bolts is essential for the advanced finite element...journal article 2021

Yang, F. (author), Liu, Yuqing (author), Xin, H. (author), Veljkovic, M. (author)Many bolted connectors were proposed for use in steel-concrete composite structures over the past few decades. This is because using bolted connectors could make the assembly and disassembly of steel-concrete composite structures more convenient and reusing the dismantled structural components could also improve structural sustainability. Lots...journal article 2021
