Passing-through I-plates-to-RHS moment resisting connections using LCT (Laser Cutting Technology)

The collaborative effort between INSA Rennes and the University of Toronto will center around advancing research related to beam/column joints with passing-through plates-to-SHS connections, where the SHS column is infilled with concrete. This collaboration seeks to leverage the expertise and unique contributions of both institutions to address the gaps in current knowledge, especially in the realm of infilled hollow structural section connections where existing standards in Europe and North America lack specific guidance. The aim is to develop a calculation method tailored to these connection types, providing essential design guidelines and practical examples.
