Abstract

This study has been performed to establish the effects of bolt gage distance and number of bolts on the stiffness and strength of a double angle connection under tension. In addition, analytical models have been proposed to predict the initial stiffness and plastic tensile load capacity of a double angle connection under tension. The effects of prying action have been included in the development of these analytical models. The results obtained from these analytical models have been compared with those obtained from the Thornton model and the Faella model to verify their applications. Six experimental tests have been performed to obtain load-displacement curves of a double angle connection under tension
