Experimental Study of the Behavior of Blind Bolted End Plate Connections
Abstract eng: There is limited information on the behavior of connections between rectangular hollow section (RHS) columns and Hshaped beams. Since the RHS column has a closed section, it is difficult for ordinary bolts to be used in RHS column connections. However, application of blind bolts is a more feasible option for this. In order to investigate the seismic and shear behavior of the end plate connections of RHS columns with H-shaped beams using blind bolts, experimental tests were conducted in this paper to study the behavior of this kind of connection. Four full-scale specimens representing exterior beam-to-column connections were tested under monotonic loading and cyclic loading. The failure modes, shear capacity, moment-rotation relation curves, energy-dissipating capacity and connection classification of the joints were evaluated. The test results indicate that this new kind of connection exhibits excellent shear performance and very good rotational capacity which makes it beneficial in seismic zones.
