  The AISC 360-16 Specification recommends that the design shear force between parts of a composite column in the load introduction area shall be calculated based on the force allocation at ultimate limit state. Applicability of this straightforward method to the load levels that usually arise in slender composite columns is questionable, as this capacity-based force allocation is only true when the axial force is equal to the plastic...

  The aim of the research project is to determine the rotational stiffness of the connection between the purlin and the part of the truss top chord. The attached files are referred to the forces and displacements obtained from the strength testing machine (two sensors). The 16 specimens were tested on the experimental set up.
