Abstract
Hollow section profiles are widely used in the structural steel industry. An important point to take into consideration in such connections is the continuous transfer of internal forces from element to element. One of the measures taken to ensure this continuity is to use end plates. The connection between plates and elements is mainly provided by welds. The aim of this study is to determine an optimum weld thickness for connections subjected to local buckling of box-beam-columns under bending. Corner and circular fillet welds were used to join the designed plates with box columns and beams. Hollow section profile connections were experimentally studied in the Steel Structure Laboratory of the Department of Civil Engineering of Süleyman Demirel University. Results were used to develop numerical models. Ansys Workbench was used in numerical models to analyze the corner welds of different thicknesses and lengths depending on plate dimensions and to examine their behavior.
