Abstract
In recent years the use of closed sections/tubes as structural members has increased significantly. Designers all around the world approve of the advantages that round as well as rectangular hollow structural sections (HSS) can offer, such as uniform strength and stiffness independent of the loading direction, high torsional and buckling strength and the aesthetic appearance. Splicing structural members is a common practice in construction to allow for long spanning trusses, changes in cross sections and transportation to site, to name but a few. The results of an experimental investigation of four bolted flange-plate connections between rectangular hollow structural sections, with bolts on all four sides, have been presented. A brief overview of different design methods for bolted flange-plate connections for square and rectangular hollow structural sections under tension load has also been given. A comparison of the load predictions of the various methods for the specimens in the experimental program supports the use of the design procedure that can be found in the AISC HSS Connections Manual (AISC, 1997).

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
