T-Knoten mit Gurtstäben aus dreieckigen Hohlprofilen

T-joints with chord members made of triangular hollow sections.

On one hand the newly developed hollow section provides advantageous bearing-properties of joints with triangular shaped chord sections due to high joint-rigidity, on the other hand it offers interesting aspects in an aesthetic as well as in an economic point of view. Because of the promising success of this research project a more detailed insight and an enhancement of the results for the general application of constructions made of hollow sections with triangular hollow sections is intended within the scope of a subsequent research project.
