The derivation and validation of analytical equations for predicting the tensile initial stiffness of thread-fixed one-side bolts(TOBs),connected to enclosed rectangular hollow section(RHS)columns,is presented in this paper.Two unknown stiffness components are considered:the TOBs connection and the enclosed RHS face.First,the trapezoidal thread of TOB,as an equivalent cantilevered beam subjected to uniformly distributed loads,is analyzed to determine the associated deformations.Based on the findings,the thread-shank serial-parallel stiffness model of TOB connection is proposed.For analysis of the tensile stiffness of the enclosed RHS face due to two bolt forces,the four sidewalls are treated as rotation constraints,thus reducing the problem to a two-dimensional plate analysis.According to the load superposition method,the deflection of the face plate is resolved into three components under various boundary and load conditions.Referring to the plate deflection theory of Timoshenko,the analytical solutions for the three deflections are derived in terms of the variables of bolt spacing,RHS thickness,height to width ratio,etc.Finally,the validity of the above stiffness equations is verified by a series of finite element(FE)models of T-stub substructures.The proposed component stiffness equations are an effective supplement to the component-based method.
