Abstract: The paper presents experimental results from twelve full scale test samples using different CHS member lengths and eccentric cleats combinations. The test results show that the governing connection failure is a sway collapse mechanism. Based on this evidence, a simple design method for eccentric cleat connection in compression is proposed. Results from the proposed design methods are in good agreement with the obtained experimental results and with FE predictions.
