The article presented focuses on the comparison of the measurement results obtained in laboratory experiments on joints of a lattice girder. Because of the geometric variety of joints, the article presented concentrated selectively on hinged T-joints only. The geometry of this type of joint consists of two fundamental members: the chord and the brace member. The T-joints examined were always composed of the rectangular chord member in combination with a variety of types (rectangular, circular and open) and dimensions of brace members. The scientific research results and evaluations presented characterize the correlations regarding the global resistance of joints in lattice structures in the light of the latest scientific knowledge that should be responsibly taken into consideration in their reliable and cost-effective design.

Keywords: T-joints, circular hollow sections, rectangular hollow sections, HEA-sections, vertical and horizontal deformation
