Abstract | Despite the frequent use of DKT-joints in offshore structures, no parametric equation is available for determining the distribution of stress concentration factors (SCFs) along the brace-to-chord intersection of this type of tubular joints. In the present paper, the effect of non-dimensional geometrical parameters and brace-to-chord inclination angle on the distribution of SCFs and DKT-/KT-joint SCF ratios (SRs) along the weld toe of tubular DKT-joints under the balanced axial loads is studied. Thereafter, a parametric equation is proposed for predicting the distribution of SCFs along the 360° spatial curve of the weld toe. The proposed equation satisfies the acceptance criteria recommended by the UK Department of Energy (DoE), and consequently can reliably be used for design purposes. |
