Abstract
- The article presents numerical studies on static strength of the high strength steel (HSS) thick-walled circular hollow section (CHS) X-joints with near-toe surface cracks under the brace axial tensile load. The analyses conducted covered a comprehensive array of joint geometric parameters as well as crack configurations. The study also investigated the effects of fracture failure on the cracked joint strength. It showed the conservativeness of the design equation for the high Β joints.
