Abstract

This paper presents the latest design procedures for welded steel tubular truss joints subject to static and fatigue loading. Recent research on fatigue of thin-walled tubular joints is reported. Discussion is made on thick-walled tubular joints that are used in mining equipment, bridges and wind farms. It also describes the new development in steel tubular joints such as elliptical hollow sections, cast steel, bird beak joints and composite tubular joints. A comprehensive list of references is given.
