Stress distribution in some common welded beam-to-column connections

University of British Columbia

This is a report on tests of welded beam-to-column connections carried out in the Materials Testing Laboratory, Department of Civil Engineering, University of British Columbia. The test series included four basic types of connection commonly used in practice, and for each type, a set of stress distribution curves has been given for each part of the connection. Realizing also, that for a connection to be of any practical use, it must have adequate rotation capacity, moment-rotation curves have also been given. From the various stress curves given, an attempt has been made to tabulate magnification factors, which are described in the text, and in this way correlate the peak stress values obtained with the theoretical linear stresses assumed. In order to do this for the column of each connection, a linear stress distribution was assumed, using information obtained from the tests carried out. Finally, the calculated values for each connection are compared in the concluding section.
