Summary
In the first part of this paper, the main results from a series of experiments focused on the shear performance of bow ties are presented. Five specimens were tested to evaluate their capacity and stiffness. Specimens showed a main failure mode: a combination between shear and tensile failure in the narrowest section of the bow tie. In the second part, experimental results are compared with the failure capacity predicted by using Eurocode 5.
