• On the fatigue design of K-joint tubular girders 

      Karamanos, S. A.; Romeijn, A.; Wardenier, J. (2000)
      The fatigue design of welded tubular lattice structures is preferably based on the hot-spot stress method, combining nominal stresses and Stress Concentration Factors (SCF). In the present paper, the fatigue design of ...
    • SCF equations in multi-planar welded tubular DT-joints including bending effects 

      Karamanos, S. A.; Romeijn, A.; Wardenier, J. (2002)
      Welded tubular connections exhibit significant stress concentrations at the weld vicinity, which may result in fatigue failure. Stress concentration factors (SCFs) in DT-joint are computed, based on an extensive finite ...
    • SCFs and fatigue design of multi-planar tubular DT-joints 

      Karamanos, S. A.; Romeijn, A.; Wardenier, J. (2001)
      The present paper concerns the fatigue design of multi-planar welded tubular DT (double T) steel connections. Stress Concentration Factors (SCFs) are used for the calculation of the hot-spot stress of the joint and, ...
