Tubular moment connection
(OP)
Are there any references available on using welded moment connections with a TS beam to TS column to create a bent as part of a rigid frame? Also, client wants to use a bent TS2x2x14GA to create the ridge of the frame (how in the world do I analyze that?). These will be used to support little carport and mini-storage buildings.

The remaining question is how you transfer the moment from the beam to column. What you have to do is to place a diaphram plate in the column to back up the bottom flange of the beam.

This is a pretty useful guide, written in English (despite its continental European origin).

I probably should have added that if you have any problem in locating the CIDECT guide, you can get it (by a very roundabout way) from the bookshop of the Australian Institute of Steel Construction. www.aisc.com.au.
'Our' AISC also has seven other CIDECT guides for sale, including circular section joints, structural stability of hollow sections, design for fire, concrete filled hollow columns, mechanical applications, welded joints under fatigue. Prices range from A$27.50 to A$66.00 (for the welded joints under fatigue loading guide), plus P&P.
With the A$ currently ranking at about A$2 = US$1, the costs should not be too frightening.

The US AISC publishes a Hollow Structural Section Connections Manual using the LRFD methodology.
