The welding profile along the brace-to-chord intersection employs a recently proposed set of welding details, namely the full capacity tubular joint welds. The experimental investigation focuses on: 1) the stress concentration comparison corresponding to different stages of the specimen preparation, 2) the fatigue crack initiation life and propagation life; and 3) the comparison of the measured fatigue life with respect to the design S-N curves. The experimental measurement reveals that the fatigue crack propagation life contributes to a significant portion of the total fatigue life for both the hollow section tubular joints and the concrete-filled tubular joints. The total fatigue life of the test specimens complies with the life estimation based on the existing design S-N curves, originally developed for tubular joints fabricated using the complete joint penetration welds. The residual strength of the fatigue-cracked tubular joints follows approximately a linear relationship with respect to the percentage of the crack area along the brace-to-chord intersection. © 2014 Elsevier Ltd. | Source Title: | Journal of Constructional Steel Research | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/90970 | ISSN: | 0143974X | DOI: | 10.1016/j.jcsr.2014.04.021 |
