HSS. Hollow Structural Sections (HSS) are manufactured hollow steel sections, typically of circular, rectangular, or square cross-section. In the United States, HSS sections conform to

Hollow sections may be either Square, Rectangular, or Circular. In the United States the term HSS (Hollow Structural Section) is used to define all hollow section shapes which are then prefixed

Sep 29, It would take a massive change on the way steel structures are designed and fabricated, most columns are tubular and most beams are WF, the most targeted areas are the

Oct 27, Hollow steel sections - HSS sections (steel box sections) are steel profiles with tubular cross-sections. These can either come in rectangular, circular or square shapes, and are referred to as RHS, CHS and SHS, respectively. As you can see, there are various steel beam sizes and shapes, all of which are suited for specific

HSS Beam to Column Bolted End-Plates HSS Beam to Column Bolted Fin-Plates Hollow sections are commonly used in welded steel frames where members experience loads from multiple directions hollow sections have uniform geometry and thus uniform characteristics with excellent resistance to torsion making them a good

When the beams and columns are HSS members, moment connections can be designed using the provisions in the American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) Specification for Structural Steel Buildings Chapter K. The tables in Chapter K cover various connection configurations and provide the limit states with the applicable strength

Fig. 5 illustrates a typical fin-plate connection, with the plates welded to the face of the hollow section column and the incoming beam bolted through the . Fig. 6 shows a much stronger variation, with the fin-plate passing though both faces of the column. This means cutting a slot in both faces of the column to allow the plate to be
