HSS beam to HSS beam moment connection
HSS beam to HSS beam moment connection
(OP)
Does anyone know of a reference for designing a moment connection of two HSS beams using end plates?
Basically a flange connection as you'd see in pipe spools but using square HSS.

Yes, this is indeed my intent.

Is that a splice? Beam to girder? Beam to column?

The black AISC HSS Connections Manual has this connection, for both rectangular and round tubes. The examples are for axial load, but a small transformation will convert your moment into an equivalent axial.

maybe without an end plate would work as well - similar to AISC 13th ed. Fig. 12-7 p.12-11
