Includes bibliographical references. Although exhibiting many superior properties to open sections structural hollow sections (SHS) have seen limited application in structures where joints resist moments. Their application has remained largely in truss type and lattice type structures where pinned joints are assumed. However, SHS have wide potential for use in structures with moment resisting joints. Much still needs to be done, however, to develop an understanding of joint behaviour under moment loads. It is also desirable to come up with means of developing design tables that can simply the design process. The purpose of the research was to investigate the behavior of SHS joints under moment loading through experimental tests as well as using finite element modeling. 2014-07-31T10:26:35Z 2014-07-31T10:26:35Z 2008 Master Thesis Masters MSc http://hdl.handle.net/11427/5021 eng application/pdf Department of Civil Engineering Faculty of Engineering and the Built Environment University of Cape Town
