| Abstract |
New economy concept a circular economy as an alternative to the traditional linear economy is an important topic today. Steel structural elements have excellent circular economy credentials in comparison with other building products. Reuse of steel elements offers greater advantages than recycling because the energy, used to remelt the element, is saved. Today numerous studies are being carried out and problems regarding the reuse of steel elements have been identified. The aim of the experimental part of this research is to determine the behaviour of reused structural elements with renewed bolted joints (beam to column) under cyclic and ultimate loading. For this purpose bolts of different classes and sizes were used. Special attention was paid to discovering the changing of connection properties due to residual plastic deformations and strain hardening of joint components. Test results were compared with those produced by the equivalent T-stub method (hand calculation method) and FEM software programme and the analysis of the results are presented. |
