| Abstract: |
Due to the resource-conserving use of material, the application of high-strength steels provides economic and ecological advantages in many types of constructions. However, for welded con- structions, some of these advantages are partially offset by conservative design rules and more complicated execution regulations. The objective of the ongoing AiF-FOSTA research project P1020 is the development of principles, which lead to significant improvements of design and execution rules for welded connections of high-strength steel structures. The development of design rules aimed at a simpler more economical execution. This paper gives an overview of the research pro- ject P1020 including the new design model. It describes the development of the flat tensile test method for the assessment of the mechanical properties of welds and several experimental para- metric studies. |
