The yield strength of high strength bolted T-stub joint has different definitions depending on design codes. In addition, the stress status at these yield strength points is not clarified. The purpose of this study is that the validation of current design codes is clarified by observing the stress status of joint flange and axial force of high strength bolt by FE analysis. The first result of this study is that the optimal design code is dependent on the joint yield mode. The second result is that the joint yield strength is able to be estimated accurately by combining current design codes.
