Abstract

Strength and stiffness of panel and joint in non-diaphragm CHS-column to H-beam connection were experimentally investigated Herein, the panel means the cylindrical stub circumscribed by outer planes of the beam and the column, and the joint means the butt seam between the column wall and the beam end. Two types of specimen were tested: one is an X-shaped frame whose panel is subjected to shear, and the other is a 3-point bending specimen whose panel is free from shear. In result, the joint strength and stiffness are well predicted by the previously proposed formulae irrespective of the existence of shear in the panel, and the panel strength and stiffness are also well predicted by the well known formulae given for diaphragm connections. This suggests that the interaction between panel and joint of the non-diaphragm connection can be ignored in structural design.
