Abstract:
This dataset is related to the research paper entitled "Fusion of Experimental and Numerical Data for Development of Extended Hollo-bolt Component Based Model" published in the Engineering Structures journal (Cabrera et al., 2024). It provides the necessary information for the collection of tensile load-displacement data from Concrete-filled Steel Tubes (CFST) connected to a rigid T-Stub using Extended Hollo bolts (EHB). The dataset encompasses (i) the load-displacement response of 28 EHB connections subjected to monotonic tensile tests, which include displacement data at the bolt head, bolt end, and column face; (ii) 40 pictures per sample taken at fixed intervals during the tensile testing, along with 2 pictures after failure, one before and one after careful removal of the top plate of the steel tube which facilitate the understanding of concrete damage and failure mode. This information is intended to provide insights into the failure mechanism of the EHB connections when components can interact and contribute to deformability of the connection as well as provide full data for development and validation of predictive models such as numerical, analytical, and data driven models.

Steel Fastening Techniques
Rivets are cylindrical steel fasteners with a specially designed head. During application, rivets are heated until white-hot and then inserted through pre-drilled holes in the steel sections. A pneumatic hammer is used to shape the exposed end into a second head, securing the sections together.

Stresses under Combined Loadings
The process begins by slicing the tube at critical points and analyzing the internal forces and stress components at these sections, focusing on the centroid. Normal stresses, generated by axial forces and bending moments, are either compressive or tensile and vary across the section from...
