Key Points

  • The research aims to enhance steel component reusability by evaluating the performance of innovative beam-to-beam joints.
  • Developed moment-resisting double-sided beam-to-beam steel joints.
  • Conducted an experimental campaign and numerical study on joint performance.
  • Assessed parameters including moment resistance, rotational stiffness, ductility, and failure mechanisms.
  • Demonstrated improved moment resistance in newly designed joints.
  • Observed enhanced rotational stiffness and deformation capacity.
  • Identified key failure mechanisms that affect joint performance.

Abstract

Abstract With growing demands for sustainability and circularity in the construction sector, enhancing the reusability of steel components has become a key priority. The European CONNECT4C project addresses this challenge by developing innovative, adaptable steel components that enable flexible and reusable structural systems. This paper investigates newly developed moment‐resisting double‐sided beam‐to‐beam steel joints, focusing on the preparation of the experimental campaign and a preliminary numerical study. The aim is to assess the joint's moment resistance, rotational stiffness, ductility, deformation capacity, and failure mechanisms.
