Abstract

Presented in this paper are test results to determine the moment-rotation characteristics of joint details for a portal frame specific to a pultruded fiber reinforced polymer assembly for the Startlink house. Two joints having beam-to-column dowel connections, with and without extra adhesively bonding, were statically loaded in increments of moment or rotation to ultimate failure. The floor beam and stud column members are bespoke closed-sections developed for the Startlink lightweight building system. The serviceability design calculations for the demonstrator house to be constructed in Bourne, England, assumed the frame’s joints to be rigid. Clauses in EN 1993-1-8:2005 have been applied to classify the measured rotational stiffnesses against the rigid requirement, and an evaluation is made of the modes of failure with respect to the joint’s design moments. Only the joint with extra bonding between the mating surfaces of members is found to be classified as rigid. Both joints are shown to have an acceptable joint strength.
