Abstract:This paper focuses on the premature theoretical analysis and experimental research of high strength bolted zigzagplate connections of aluminum alloys. It is found that the factors affecting the bearing capacity of the connection are prestress in boltes, thickness plates and zigzag dimensions. Shearresistant capacity tests were conducted for aluminum alloy component with high strength bolted zigzagplate connections (HSBZP). The test results showed that high strength bolted zigzagplate connections had copious advantages including but not limited to reliable force transferring, comparatively slight deformation and much higher capacity than regular slipcritical bolted connections, The zigzag plates increased the slip resistance of the connection.
