Overview: This report presents the laboratory test results on fillet and flare-bevel welded truss connections in 50x50x2.5 DuraGal angle sections. The arc-welded connections between the DuraGal sections and 10-mm hot-rolled steel plates were fabricated using the gas metal arc welding (GMAW) process. It was found that failures of the fillet and the flare-bevel welds occurred in both the weld metal and the DuraGal angle section. The ultimate test loads of the connection specimens were compared with their predicted failure loads and their nominal capacities computed using the equations specified in the cold-formed steel standard AS/NZS 4600:1996 and the steel structures code AS 4100-1998, respectively.
