Resistance is the main property of tubular joints. The determination of the joint resistance from the experimental load-deformation curve always represents a challenging task. Currently there are two main methods to find the experimental resistance, which are called plastic and ultimate resistance. However, there is no single opinion on which one s...

In welding elements of the supporting structure of the means of transport, attention is paid to the high strength and good plastic properties of the welded joint. In the construction of transport means, DOCOL 1200M steel from the AHSS group is increasingly used due to their high tensile strength of steel at the level of 1200 MPa. The welds have muc...

... In his experimental research Garifullin [32] did tests with brace-to-chord width ratios of 0.6 to 0.8. Beside this the material S420, S500 and S700 together with the welding types a6, a10 filled welds and 1/2 v butt welds were analysed. ...
Joints made out of tubular steel members are often used in industrial constructions,
like offshore, trusses or tree-shaped columns. The joint area is the weakest point in a truss
structure. Beside the normal static behaviour many non-linearities due to the geometry or to the
welding process have to be taken into account. Steel hollow sections are often used. Much
research was made on welded nodes so far. To increase the resistance of a joint it is an option to
vary the material choice. Many variations were tested in the past. It is possible to change the
overall material of a joint or using composite structures, like a concrete filled column. Or the
steel of the welding line can get an additional material component. Another aspect is to reinforce
the joint for example by a stiffened ring. In this paper a state-of-the-art review of the influence
of different materials to the resistance of welded nodes is given.
