The use of tubular structural profiles has increased in large-scale worldwide, mainly because of the technical advantages associated with the structural behavior and aesthetic, led to an intense use in Europe, Southeast Asia, North America and Australia. Countries like Canada, England, Germany and Netherlands make use these structures and have a current, industrialized and continuing production with a high level of technological development. Considering this fact, in Brazil, the use of these profiles has been quite limited, being restricted just to spatial coverage. Nonetheless situation in the Brazilian market has changed due to the supply of these profiles provided by the start of production from V&M do BRASIL in the year 2000, in front of this technological novelty, imposing the need for dissemination and implemation of the use of this type of profile, as well as an increase in the number of research papers providing a better understanding of its structural behavior. This dissertation presents a parametric analysis of reinforced T-joints by determining the joint ultimate strength obtained by the limit deformation criteria proposed by several researchers comparing the results with Eurocode 3, Brazilian Design Code Project PN 02.125.03-004 and CIDECT requirements. The joints object of this study are composed by tubular rectangular hollow section (RHS) in the chord and circular hollow section (CHS) in the braces. In these analyzes, it was verified the influence of reinforcements in the area against of the chord and brace, as well as the influence of acting efforts in the chord in the joint global behavior. The physical and geometrical nonlinearities were incorporated in the models, in order to fully mobilize the joint resistance capacity. The finite element method was developed with the Ansys 12.0 software. As final results of this dissertation, it is presented the reinforced T-joint behavior for several profile types (chord and brace) and different thicknesses reinforcement plates, in comparison to the design proposed by Brazilian Design Code Project PN 02.125.03-004
