The bypass method is one plan for replacing the panel points due to the corrosion: installing bypass members that transfer the stress of the dead and live loads. However, the detailed load distribution and design when the bypass method is applied to the panel point subjected to stress in multiple directions is unclear. In this study, the FEA of the variations in the axial stiffness and the location of the bypass members has been conducted to quantitatively evaluate the load distribution of the replacing panel points with the bypass method. And the location of the top member affected the load distribution of the bypass member due to the change in the eccentric moment.
