Abstract
This paper describes welded-connection tests that were performed on rectangular hollow sections (RHS). The thIckness of the RHS sections varied from 1.6 to 3.0 mm. Both butt welds and transverse fillet welds were tested. w.here the tension load was perpendicular to the direction of the weld. The test results are compared wIth exlstIng American.' Australian, Canadian, and European design formulas, and proposed design formulas are gIven. The rehablhty analysIs method is used to cahbrate the existing and proposed design formulas.
