The implementation of strong column-weak beam concept in reinforced concrete (RC) moment-resisting frames results in the formation of plastic hinges at the beam ends, which could lead to the strain penetration of beam longitudinal reinforcement into...

Experimental and numerical analysis of preload in Extended Hollo-Bolt blind bolts (2021)
Journal Article
Cabrera, M., Tizani, W., Ninic, J., & Wang, F. (2021). Experimental and numerical analysis of preload in Extended Hollo-Bolt blind bolts. Journal of Constructional Steel Research, 186, Article 106885. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jcsr.2021.106885

Adequate initial bolt preload is necessary to ensure the strength and stiffness of bolted connections. In this study, an experimental torque control method was used to determine the relationship between tightening torque and preload of nine Extended...

A review and analysis of testing and modeling practice of extended Hollo-Bolt blind bolt connections (2021)
Journal Article
Cabrera, M., Tizani, W., & Ninic, J. (2021). A review and analysis of testing and modeling practice of extended Hollo-Bolt blind bolt connections. Journal of Constructional Steel Research, 183, Article 106763. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jcsr.2021.106763

Steel Hollow Sections (SHS) offer many structural, economical and architectural advantages in multi-storey and high-rise construction. However, their use is not suitable for a wide range of applications due to the difficulties of site bolting as ther...

A component model for column face in bending of extended HolloBolt connections (2021)
Journal Article
Mahmood, M., & Tizani, W. (2021). A component model for column face in bending of extended HolloBolt connections. Journal of Constructional Steel Research, 182, Article 106655. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jcsr.2021.106655

Extended HolloBolt (EHB) is a practical anchored blind bolting system for concrete-filled steel sections. One of the failure modes of EHB connections is the bending of the column face component. Up to date, no analytical model to estimate the strengt... Read More about A component model for column face in bending of extended HolloBolt connections.
