DESIGN FORMULAE FOR CHS COLUMN-TO-BEAM CONNECTIONS WITH EXTERIOR DIAPHRAGMS

Abstract ficult for are not familiar with the AIJ dations to understand the design formulae. this paper are to investigate the design for the resistance of connections with exterior detail, to explain so that they restrain perfectly the local flexural deformation of tube wall by the out-of-plane force from the beam flanges. In order that tubular connections satisfy the condition of be- resisting connections capable of the ultimate load, the column wall must generally be stiff-
