Abstract
The results of a series of tests on bolted connections
using high-strength steel (HSS) as a base material are
presented and analyzed in this report. The base material
used was HSF 640 which has a yield stress of 640 MPa.
The tests studied bearing resistance, net section failure
and the block shear failure mode.
The test results have been analysed according to the
Finnish specification for steel structures B7, the
Swedish specification BSK, the NKB-specif-cation and
according to the Eurocode 3. The block shear failure mode
has been analysed according to the american
LRFD-specification.
The aim of this study has been to provide experimental
test results to allow the development of reliable
calculation methods for connections using HSS steels in
different types of steel structures.
