Structure Connections Research Group

The current research projects include studies on the structural behaviors of multiplanar tubular joints, completely overlap joints, doubler plate reinforced joints, composite connections and beam-column connections. Structural aspects like ultimate load carrying capacity, stress concentration factor and fatigue strength are investigated.

Parametric equations and unified equations are proposed to facilitate fast and easy design calculations. The study on reinforced concrete beam-column joints includes modeling at the ultimate limit state and the overall behavior of joints with eccentricities. Special emphasis is also placed on lightly reinforced beam-column joints under cyclic loading.
