Abstract
In the previous paper, we have reported about the elastic behavior of beam-to-column connections in thick wall tubular columns considering the variation of shearing stress distribution in wall thickness. In this paper, we compare values of Saint-Venant's flexure theory which we have solved in the previous paper with values of shear flow theory. In the first, we discuss difference of maximum shearing stress and shearing strain by ratios of outside diameter and wall thichness. And then we discuss the yield of bending and the yield of shearing force considering both ratios of outside diameter and wall thickness and ratios of beam-depth and outside diameter of connections. Finally, we consider the deflection of connections due to bending and shearing force.
