The document presents a novel bolted steel joint design intended to improve the anti-collapse resistance of steel structures. Finite element analysis was used to model and validate the new joint design, which incorporates additional double rings. The results showed the new design significantly increases the load capacity and rotational capacity of the joint compared to the original design.
