A Study on an Innovative Pin Connected Structural System for Large Span Steel Structures

Подробнее о видео

Join us for an in-depth webinar exploring the innovative use of pin-connected joints in long-span steel structures. This session will cover the introduction of a pin-connected joint designed to accommodate in-plane rotation and resist shear forces.

These pinned-connections were applied to truss-column joints to support heavy-loaded floors and roofs, designed in accordance with European codes and compared with American and Australian standards. To gain a comprehensive understanding of the material behavior and structural performance of this pin-connection system, four specimens, including two full-scale pin-connections and two truss connections, were tested under both monotonic and cyclic loads. The webinar will present findings on load–displacement curves, hysteretic behavior, ultimate loads, failure modes, capacity, and ductility, demonstrating the excellent ductility, load transfer ability, and capacity of the pin-connection through experimental and numerical results.

Key takeaways from this webinar
🔹Understanding Pin-connected new systems
🔹Challenges in Large-Span Structures
🔹Behavior of Truss-Column Pinned Connections
