Abstract

The component method is a powerful tool for designing and modelling steel beam-to-column connections. Its widespread use is ensured by several formulations currently included in Eurocode 3 part 1.8 for welded and bolted joints. However, the recent use of 3D Laser Cutting Technology (3D-LCT) in the construction market has enlarged the range of solutions, allowing the realisation of tubular columns with passing-through elements. Given the recent development, no design formulations are currently provided for this typology. At this moment, only a few research studies have developed to fill this knowledge gap. At the University of Salerno, since some years, research efforts are ongoing to characterise the flexural strength of connections between Circular Hollow Section columns and passing double-tee beams, suggesting methodologies to predict the behaviour of the resistance and stiffness of this typology and some of its elementary joint components. Within this framework, this paper aims to examine the strength and stiffness of one of the main components of this joint, which was never examined previously, that is the so-called tube under localised transverse tension/compression. Design formulations are derived from a parametric study carried out through numerical simulations of several geometric configurations.
