Abstract

The non-linear static collapse behaviour of a model tubular framework is studied via comparisons between experimental test results and non-linear finite element analyses. Three-dimensional brick elements are used for the finite element analyses. The framework results are evaluated in the light of the loading paths of the individual YT-joints in the load space of Y- and T-brace axial forces, in order to assess the validity of the radial load path assumption of an energy-based elastic-plastic prediction procedure.
