HSS connections have often been a source of mystery for some engineers. This presentation attempts to de-mystify these connections. While this is not a “how-to” guide, the presentation will highlight areas of HSS connection design that are often overlooked or misunderstood. Connection types that are addressed include tension, shear, moment and truss connections. Attendees will gain an appreciation of the similarities and the subtle differences between HSS connections and other types of connections.
