Moment connections with non-compact column
Moment connections with non-compact column
(OP)
Question: Can you use non-compact sections in a moment connection?
I am designing a moment connection in a steel moment frame. The column is a HSS6x6x3/16 with a W8x28 beam cantilevering over the top. The connection will be an end plate on top of the HSS connecting to the beam flange.
I am using a software program called Limcon and it does not allow non-compact section to be used in a moment connection. What code reference is this program using?
