The aim of Tarana’s work is to obtain experimental data of EHS-to-EHS connections and evaluate existing design equations, based on conventional HSS connections, for their adequacy and applicability to EHS connections. The experimental study involves a total of 12 large-scale EHS-to-EHS connection specimens which will be tested in the newly-renovated Structural Testing Facility at the University of Toronto. The experimental data collected may also be used to validate Finite Element Models which can be used for parametric analysis.
