HSS column splices
HSS column splices
(OP)
I'm designing a column to be fitted for a four-storey building. The ground & 2nd floor will be HSS 6x6, while the last two floors will be HSS 4x4.
Are there visual examples that can be used as detailing for the splicing connection of these two different size columns?

It's just that there are close to 170 columns to deal with.
I'm not a big advocate of "stiffening" the beam over the column.

For different size columns, use a cap plate on the lower column and field weld the upper column to it.
