Abstract
Research on resistance of truss N shape RHS joints is presented. Experimental evidence of such joint behaviour tested in natural scale is described. Geometry and material properties of the tested six connections are given. For each specimen axial-deflection curves are presented. The comparison between numerical models by ANSYS software and experimental results is shown. Finally, some important conclusions are given.
