Abstract
Abstract The article presents concept of II generation N type RHS plug & play truss connection made in non-welded technology. Three connections of the representative truss are analyzed. Resistance calculations of these truss joints, using the component method, are shown. Test results and the theoretical resistance of these connections are compared.
Highlights
The article presents concept of II generation N type rectangular hollow section (RHS) plug & play truss connection made in nonwelded technology
Modern techniques introduced by AM (Advanced Manufacturing), such as: cutting metals with laser 3D, CNC laser cutter, 3D printers, and automation of production processes lead to the need to reconsider again the current methods and techniques of connecting elements in steel structures
Tension bracing was fixed to chord member by anchor blocks manufactured by AM technology and they have been twisted on their treaded ends by nuts
Summary
Modern techniques introduced by AM (Advanced Manufacturing), such as: cutting metals with laser 3D, CNC laser cutter, 3D printers, and automation of production processes lead to the need to reconsider again the current methods and techniques of connecting elements in steel structures. Tension bracing was fixed to chord member by anchor blocks manufactured by AM technology and they have been twisted on their treaded ends by nuts. Of these elements eliminates the need to use welds to connect the bracing members with the chord what is the typical technology used so far [1]. The component method which is frequently used for the resistance
