A general formulation for strength design of axially loaded planar and multi-planar tubular joints

A database of newly generated numerical strengths of planar and multi-planar joints was used to assess the current offshore design code methodologies and to derive a new design equation, based on the AWS ovalisation parameter concept. Within defined geometric limits, the proposed equation has been f...
