HSS Sections as Beams - Structural engineering general discussion Hi all! I was just thinking of why don't we "structural engineers" use HSS sections to design steel beams? HSS sections are good in resisting lateral-torsional buckling So, why we almost always use W-sections for beams? I noticed that in the majority of the building I saw Thanks in advance!
HSS closure plates for AESS | Eng-Tips I'm designing an architecturally exposed structural steel patio shade structure mostly out of HSS tubes The columns and a couple of the beams will need closure plates First I detailed end plates to match the HSS section, groove the outside of the HSS and weld all around But I figured it
Continuous Beam Connection - HSS Columns | Eng-Tips Hello all, Been visiting these forums for years on various topics over my engineering path, first time poster I've had something similar to this come up a few times now, and is becoming more common, of W-shape continuous beams over HSS posts I have a project, with continuous W-shape beams
HSS members used as beams - Structural engineering general discussion . . . There's plenty of information regarding HSS members used as beams - check your steel manual! Generally wide flanges or channels are preferred compared to HSS sections for use as beams because they use the material more efficiently for strong-axis bending and the connections are easier cheaper
Single Story All HSS moment frame | Eng-Tips In general when using HSS beams and columns together, I try to size the column 1 size larger than the beams to make the welding simple where the beams frame into the sides of the column This is helpful at corners when you have beams coming in from multiple angles too It's the cleanest detail IMO
Options for attaching checker floor plate to HSS beams I have inherited a project where 5 16" HSS is being used for an industrial platform which will be decked in checker plate The HSS is already purchased The previous designer had the floor plate field welded to HSS in overhead position This is a hell of a lot of overhead welding, and think
Beam to HSS Column Connection | Eng-Tips Hello All, I need to design an in-plane moment connection plate between wide flange beams to HSS tube columns Please see the attached sketch I went through chapter K of the AISC steel manual amd also design guide 24 but I can't seem to find any good examples for this situation I could have
HSS beams in an industrial building - Eng-Tips I have HSS beams in an industrial building - solid waste place I was wondering for the HSS beams hanging in the air, is it necessary to specify a cap plate to seal the moisture out We typically do it for all HSS columns but this is my first time with beams What do you typically do? What has
Moment Connections to HSS Column | Eng-Tips I need to design a moment connections between wide flange beams to HSS tube columns I know chapter K of the steel manual has moment connections of HSS to HSS but I can't seem to find any good examples or equations for my situation I am debating on whether it is feasible to just take the
Wide Flange to HSS moment connection - Eng-Tips I want to do a moment connection of a wide flange beam to an HSS column whereby the beam flange is 6" wide and the workable flat of the HSS column is only 4 1 2" wide The moment is relatively small (50 FT-K) Design Guide 24 suggests that the workable gauge of the HSS must match the beam
