The HSS single plate framing connection is the economical way to connect a wide flange beam to HSS columns and beams. The preferred HSS truss joint is gapped, stepped and fillet welded with welds sized using the effective weld length.
This research study aims to evaluate the cyclic response of wide-flange beam - to - rectangular HSS column connections through experimental tests. Six steel moment connections are tested with three different configurations of the diaphragms: through diaphragm connections, external diaphragm connections, ...
Your last post helps (me, at least) to better understand my own discomfort with the connection you describe. So, what is different between an HSS and a WF type of RBS connection? My thoughts would be: 1) RBS for a wide flange is codified. 2) RBS for a wide flange is very ...
CONNECTIONSTEELHSSW SHAPESHEARCOLUMNBEAMTEE STUBEXPERIMENTALTen full-scale specimens consisting of wide-flange beams shear connected by means of tee stubs to hollow structural section (HSS) column faces were tested. Shear–displacement and shear–rotation behaviour were documented and five possible ...
Strands are placed along the length of the beam, passing through the column and post-tensioned to provide a precompression of the beam against the column. The parameters investigated in the study include the angle thickness, angle gage length, beam flange reinforcing plates, connection shim plates...
(2) They provide simple and practical connection details between the link and braces or columns. (3) Typically, double-HSS sections have an e /( M p /V p ) ratio much larger than that of wide-flange sections due to the fact that double-HSS sections have four webs which significantly ...
