Abstract
Grouted Connections are known in the offshore industry for a long time. In the last about ten years their technology has been projected for the foundations of Offshore Wind Energy Converters with the difference that High-Performance Concrete is applied. One of the striking advantages of Grouted Connections is the equal load-bearing capacity in tension and compression. It is shown that an increasing compressive strength of the grout, increasing shear key height and fiber reinforcement increase the load-bearing capacity of Grouted Connections. At the same time the danger of shear failure of the shear keys and yielding in the steel members raises. Equations for an appropriate design of the steel members are given, depending on the compressive strength of the grout. Thus, High-Performance Concrete for Grouted Connections can be specifically optimized for the demands of the joint. Finally, further applications e.g. for joining steel members or tower-like structures basing on Grouted Connections are presented, which suggest Grouted Connections as a joining technology for the future.
