NextSessCOMING NEXT MONTH TO SE UNIVERSITY - MOMENT CONNECTIONS TO HSS COLUMNS; HSS SERIES #1  
  

On January 8th, 2014, we will be welcoming Kim Olson, PE, from FORSE Consulting, for an SE University session on Moment Connections to HSS Columns. Sam Rubenzer, PE, SE, from FORSE Consulting, and Brad Fletcher, SE, from Atlas Tube, will be panelists for the session. 

 

This SE University session will review the various types of WF to HSS moment connections that are used by engineers and the pros/cons of each type of connection. The discussion will cover the various limit states involved in the commonly used connection types, and provide several design examples as an additional resource on using these connections. In addition, the session will address the use of HSS connections in seismic applications and touch on current research to enhance the use of these connections in various applications. Finally, there will be a discussion of different software that is available to aid in the design of these HSS Moment connections. 

 

Handouts and registration emails for this session will be sent to SE University companies on Friday, January 3rd.
