Net section fracture of S700 high strength steel staggered bolted connections

The present paper describes a thorough experimental and numerical investigation into the net section failure and load-carrying capacities of S700 high strength steel staggered bolted connections subjected to tension. The experimental programme was carried out on fifteen S700 high strength steel doub...
