Abstract: |
In many practical situations, internal nodes connect beams with unequal depth whenever the span lengths are not uniform. Following the methodology defined in EC 3-1-8, this paper presents a component model that is able to reproduce accurately the complex behavior of welded beam-to-column joints with beams of unequal height, which corresponds to a node configuration that is not yet covered in the EC 3 design rules. Based on an experimental program carried out at the University of Coimbra, the relevant components for the column web panel under a non-uniform stress state are characterized, leading to the development of a new design procedure that extends the scope of EC 3-1-8. |
