Abstract
In the previous paper, we have reported about the shearing stress distribution of beam -to-column connections in steel square-tube columns considering the variation of shearing stress distribution in wall thickness. In this paper, we compare the theoretical values which we have solved in the previous paper with experimental values. In this experiment three specimens are tested, which have same wideflange-beam and three types of columns. Those width of tube wall are equal and the width-to-thickness ratios of them are different. Those specimens are loaded to be subjected to bending, shear and thrust in their connections. In consequence of experimental research, theoretical values of the shearing stress distribution on the boundaries of the cross section approximate experimental them.
