Experimental and Numerical Studies on Load‐Bearing Behaviour of Small‐Diameter Bolted Connections

In steel structures, bolted connections are commonly used as non‐preloaded shear and tension connections. Current design and execution rules mainly cover bolt diameters from M12 to M36, although smaller M6 to M10 bolts are widely used in practice for structures such as greenhouses, façades and roofs. However, existing...
