Abstract

The subject of this paper is modeling a joint consisting of RHS (Rectangular Hollow Section) web braces and an H - profile bottom chord. Such a type of joint is based on a practical example, and its exceptional feature is a deviation from the geometric conditions given by Eurocode. Our goal is, for the model we create, to fit the actual behavior of this type of joint, as well as a comparison of such behavior with that expected on the basis of standardized formulas.
