Abstract

This paper presents a comprehensive investigation into the behavior of column webs/faces under out-of-plane loading within steel joints. The experimental component of the study involves testing five profiles, encompassing both open and closed sections with varying web slenderness and steel grade, subjected to direct out-ofplane tensile loads through bolted connections, utilizing both single and double rows of bolts. Concurrently, numerical simulations are conducted using finite element models, thoroughly calibrated with the experimental results. Drawing upon the calibrated numerical models, the paper systematically explores the influence of key parameters, including web slenderness, bolt arrangement, and analysis methods, through a parametric study involving 167 cases. A careful comparison of the observed behavior of the component from experimental tests, numerical models, and analytical models for initial stiffness is presented. Finally, the initial stiffness formulation derived from a recent model developed by the authors is improved to align with the observations from the experimental and numerical results.
