Abstract
This study is planed to clear the behaviour of friction joints with high strength bolts on web bolted flange welded (WBFW) connections. In this study, web bolted connnection with high-strength bolts (WB) is tested. FEA is carried out and compared with the test result for considering the correctness of PEA procedure. The results are briefly shown: FEA result shows good correspondence with the test elasto-plastic behaviour of the friction joints. After the bolts contact with the plate, load which born by friction part decreased and the bearing load of the bolts increased.
