In this research, new connection types were suggested, and their behaviors were determined using full-scale experiments. T-shaped combinations created using the IPE standard profile and T-shaped elements are different from those in the literature, which utilize welded plates. Thus, problems occurring at the welds of connections such as the occurrence of fracture points and inability to perform well in place are expected to be eliminated. To recommend the use of weld-less T connections, knowledge of the behavior of the connections was needed. In addition, in this research, the effects of changes in the dimensions of the connection members on the connection behavior were examined for the T-connection type. This provided information about the optimum sizes of the connection elements. The main parameters observed were the evolution of the resistance, stiffness, rotation capacity, ductility of a joint, and energy dissipation. The aim was to provide the necessary data to improve Eurocode 3 and efficiently use residue IPE standard profiles, rather than send them back to the consumption cycle.
