An Experimental Study on The Structural Behavior of Tee Shear Connections in Steel Structure |
| Abstract |
Tee framing connections are listed as one of the shear connections in the AISC Manual and are used in steel structures as simple connections. Shear connections in steel structures should satisfy dual criteria of shear strength and rotational flexibility and ductility.This paper is concerned with the behavior of tee connections where the parameters are fastener types, numbers of high strength bolt, tee sections and clearances.An experimental investigation of tee shear connections was conducted by testing 11 beam-to-column joing specimens. Based on experimental and analytical studies, the failure modes are developed and proposed design formulas. |
