Effect of Stiffeners on Mechanical Behavior of T-Stubs Based on Experiment and Numerical Simulations

T-stubs are important components in the application of component method; hence it is crucial to clarify T-stub mechanism for analysis mechanical properties steel joints. In this study, behavior was assessed via 6 static tests and 18 finite element models. The influences flange thickness, bolt spacing, diameter, stiffener rib on initial stiffness, ultimate bearing capacity, force were analyzed. Furthermore, development process relations with without stiffeners results show that an effective arrangement can reduce bending moment prying a certain degree; however, offsetting entirely difficult. influence capacity should be considered design.
