Abstract
A research program was undertaken to study the shear-lag phenomenon fo r slotted hollow structural section (HSS) tension members having gusse t plates welded at the ends, a commonly employed detail in braced fram e construction. The purpose of this study was to establish whether the shear-lag reduction factor indeed involves only the weld length to we ld distance ratio, or if other parameters also influence connection st rength and behaviour.
