Regulating welding deflection and reinforcement of compressed bars of steel trusses

As shown by the analysis of failures taking place during the service of welded frames and buildings, almost 50% (approximately 44%) take place as a result of the loss of stability of the individual bars or sections of the structure. 1, 2 It is therefore evident that it is essential to reinforce the most heavily stressed, defective elements.

In steel sectional trusses, these elements are often represented by compressed bars. They are usually reinforced by increasing the sections by welding additional bars: the connecting joins are produced at the ends of the bars in 2-3 intermediate sections (Fig. 1); the dimensions of the joints are determined by the requirement to ensure efficient combined ...
