The demand for the use of hollow sections structures in construction has had great progress in Brazil, despite being a long time widely used in Europe and developed countries. The release of a Brazilian Technical Standard specific for design of hollow sections, confirms this trend, and the need for increased dissemination and implementation of studies and research for a better understanding and development of this technology. This paper presents an analysis of the influence of chord normal stresses on the behavior of hollow sections connections, specifically for a T tubular joint. The experimental program consisted of six tests where two experiments were executed without chord axial forces, two were performed with compressive axial forces and two tension axial forces. The tested joints ultimate strengths were determined using deformation limit criteria proposed by several researchers. These results were then compared to the results obtained from a finite element numerical model developed 12.0 ANSYS program that included geometrical and material nonlinearities. These results were also compared to the design provisions present at the Eurocode 3; Brazilian standard NBR 16239:2013 and CIDECT. This assessment indicated that the results obtained in both experimental tests and in the numerical models were in favor of security when compared to the theoretical values obtained by all the investigated standards for chords without axial forces and with compressive axial forces corresponding to 60% and 80% of the chord plastic resistance, respectively, according to Eurocode 3/NBR16239:2013 and CIDECT. The obtained resistances for the joints applying tensile axial force on the chord were superior to the predicted theoretical results in the studied cases.
