Abstract (en)

Joint for concrete-filled steel tubular structures, of the type that joins two axially-aligned tubular steel segments (1). It comprises a tubular connector (2) between both steel segments (1), in a tongue and groove connection with each steel segment (1). The connector is locked against rotation by the concrete (10) filling.The male part of each tongue and groove connection comprises a circular wall (3) where at least two projections (4) are placed, the projections (4) being evenly distributed around the outside of the circular wall (3).The female part has a shell (5), the inside of the shell carrying at least two teeth (6) that define a circular hole (7) for the insertion of the circular wall (3); so the projections (4) fit between and behind the teeth (6).
