AISC Design Guide 2

AISC Design Guide 2

AISC Design Guide 2

(OP)
I am analyzing a penetration that has been cut into a HSS 8 x 4 x 3/8" square tubing member.

Can AISC design guide #2 for Web Openings be used for shapes other than wide flange beams?

After reviewing the sizing procedure, I see no issues with applying them to HSS tubing shapes (assuming stability criteria is met).  Am I correct?

Thanks in advance.

Regards

RE: AISC Design Guide 2

I think you could use the guide as a....guide - to give you a feel for where you are at in your design.  But in doing so, I would tend towards more conservatism.
