This paper presents an approach to integrate a lower-bound material J–R curve into the load–deformation relationship for circular hollow section joints. The lower-bound J–R curve derives from a regression analysis of the experimental data for a wide range of structural steels reported in the literature and follows a linear relationship up to a maximum crack extension of 2.0mm. The deterioration in the joint strength caused by ductile tearing adheres to a reduction factor based on the crack area. The J–R curve modified load–deformation responses compare closely with reported experimental results for both welded tubular joints and large-scale tubular frames. |
