Crushing load on HSS
Crushing load on HSS
(OP)
I am reviewing an application that uses a HSS8x4x1/4 as dunnage to distribute a 38 kip load across a solid mat of 6x6 timbers on a slab on grade.
Can someone point me to a reference for checking the "crushing" effect of this load on the HSS?
The load is applied by a shore leg with a 5-7/8 square, 3/8 thick end plate.

Personnally, I would just weld a thick face plate on the tube to adequately transfer the load to the walls.
