ABSTRACT

Fig.6 shows the relationships between the experimental values of Pu and the values of Po estimated l::¥ eq.9. When the chord is prestressed, the ultimate strength is given l::¥ ItUltiplying Po(eq.9) l::¥ fn{eq.10). It is apparent that the ultimate strength of the T-joint in the new joint system can be represented l::¥ Po in eq.9 with very high accuracy.
