Axial Tensile Experiment of the Lap-Type Asymmetric K-Shaped Square Tubular Joints with Built-In Stiffeners by Zhihua Zhong, Peiyu Peng, Zheweng Zhu, Xiang Ao, Shiwei Xiong, Jinkun Huang, Lihong Zhou, Xiaochuan Bai

“…To study the mechanical properties of asymmetric K-shaped square tubular joints with built-in stiffening rib lap joints, axial tensile tests were carried out on one K-shaped joint without built-in stiffening ribs and four K-shaped joints with built-in stiffening ribs using an electro-hydraulic servo structural testing system. The effects of the addition of stiffening ribs and the welding method of the stiffening ribs on the mechanical properties were studied comparatively. …”
