Both preloaded and injected bolted connections are commonly used in steel bridges in The Netherlands. Where preloaded bolted connections are already used for a longer time, the injection of bolt holes is a method used from the 1970s onwards. Injection of bolts became a good alter

Standardized column splices consist of bolted end-plate connection or bolted/welded cover plate splice connection. In this thesis a non-symmetrical column splice connection that uses a combination of bolted end-plate splice and cover plate splice is studied. End-plate column spli

This master thesis on LVL-Q connections investigates the behaviour in LVL-Q. Through tensile tests done in the Stevinlab, the embedment behaviour was analysed leading to high strength and ductile behaviour in LVL-Q. This goal of this research was to design an moment resisting con

Experimental verification of calculation methods for hollow core section fin-plate joints with varying strength grades
Application on joints used in practice
This research studies the experimental and numerical behaviour of a simple beam to column joint using a fin-plate welded to an rectangular hollow core section. The following aspects of the joint are investigated:
The resistance of the welded connection.
Defining the force ...
The resistance of the welded connection.
Defining the force ...
Calculation Methods for Steel Joints
Comparative Study of European Design Regulations and Partial Finite Element Analyses
Traditionally, steel joints are calculated by the calculation rules described in the Eurocode 3: NEN-EN 1993-1-8. Effective lengths are important parameters to determine the different resistances of ...
New Materials for Injected Bolted Connections
A Feasibility Study for Demountable Connections
The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the short- and long-term behaviour of injected bolted connections (IBCs) with oversize holes for various injection materials. A central theme in this thesis the demountability of IBCs, as a result of which several release agents are te
