High Strength Steel in Buildings and Civil Engineering Structures: Design of Connections Ana M. Gir?o Coelho and Frans Bijlaard* Delft University of Technology, Faculty of Civil Engineering and Geosciences PO Box 5048, 2600 GA Delft, The Netherlands Abstract: There is an increasing demand for high strength steel in the construction ofbuildings and civil engineering structures. However, there is a significant lack of knowledge of the behaviour of this type of construction. Research must focuses on the characterization of the strength and ductility of members (tension, compression and flexural members) and joints. In view of the severe deformation demands that are placed on many type of joints, particularly bolted connections, a special emphasis is given to assess current joint design criteria to understand what is expected of the high strength steel material. To address these topics, an experimental investigation was undertaken on moment connections with end plates made from high strength steel S460, S690 and S960 (yield stress of 460 N/mm2, 690 N/mm2 and 960 N/mm2, respectively) to provide insight into the nonlinear behaviour of this joint type. Test results show that the extrapolation of current design philosophy based on the semicontinuous/ partially-restrained concept gives accurate strength predictions and that these connections can achieve reasonable rotation demands. Key words: ductility, end plate connections, experimental testing, high strength steel, resistance, rotation capacity, stiffness. 1. INTRODUCTION For decades the use of high strength steels was not very popular in the eyes of the designers and manufactures of steel structures. The designers claimed that using high strength steel was of very little use because of the fact that the Young’s modulus was the same as for mild steel.The manufactures of steel structures pointed at the higher costs of welding because of the special precautions that were required in order to obtain sound welding.Further
