Fatigue Strength of Grouted Connections

This is a Joint Industry Project (JIP). To establish design recommendations using available test information on grouted connections. The calculation of safety factors for static strength of grouted connections is necessary to design safety standards which are uniform and like that of other structural components. It is necessary to establish that the provisions for other failure modes will still be adequate. The aim is to provide a sufficient measure of safety against fatigue failure of grouted connections.
