Joints of hollow sections and joints of hollow sections with open sections generally behave in a quite different way as joints of open sections. Due to the non-uniform stiffness of the intersections in the
joints, the load transfer may be very complex. This study deals with the behaviour and strength of such connections. Based on analytical criteria, simplified models and test results design strength formulae and recommendations are developed. Although it deals mainly with predominantly statically axially-loaded joints, also joints loaded by bending moments and special types of joints are discussed. Besides the static behaviour the fatigue behaviour is considered. Although most chapters have been based on previous publications of the authorthefieldcovered in thisstudy iswiderand itgivesan uptodate "State of the Art" for the design of hollow section joints.
This study is written in such a way that it can be used as a vademecum for those who are involved in the design of structures of hollow sections while it gives for the researchers a survey of the existing evidence in this field.
