Abstract
Sometimes, a fitting type connection is adopted to the connection of steel structures which requires the disassembling properties and any other purpose. In this study, a new type of connection technique for steel square tube is suggested. This proposed joint has fitting connector by embedding mechanism not using bolt or welding, a clearance between each steel tube is filled with adhesives to adjust the rigidity and strength. Therefore, this study develops the possibility and feasibility of new constructional and joint technique using the adhesive material. Herein, the cyclic loading tests are conducted to clarify the resistant mechanism and inelastic behavior.
