Three full-scale cracked square hollow section (SHS) T-joints were tested, and an actual numerical model was proposed. Based on this model, an automatic mesh generation program is developed. The plastic collapse load of cracked SHS T-joints is derived and validated experimentally and numerically. Fu...
