Test of Eccentrically Connected Gusset Plates in Compression

pages 29 - 32, full text

An Experimental study of twelve bolted single-brace eccentric gusset plate connections in compression was carried out. Ten experiments were made of steel S355 and two experiments made of steel S690. The specimens varied also in their geometry, namely the geometry of the plate, namely the connection plate length, tapering, thickness, weld on one or two sides, and the slenderness of the connected member itself. The results were compared with the predictions of existing analytical models. The observed resistances demonstrate the influence of the plate slenderness on a compressive resistance of the connection. The influence of basic parameters of connection and the accuracy of existing design procedures is shown.
