We have developed the non-welded joint method for existing steel pipe members and verified the fundamental performance of the method. The non-welded joint method uses epoxy resin adhesive and grout to transfer the shear force, axial force and bending moment to the retrofitting members. As a result of the tests, it was confirmed that the proposed joint satisfied the design strength calculated by the nominal strength of epoxy resin without any significant damage, and the beam theory can be applied to estimate the load-deformation relationship of existing steel pipe members.
