Moment Connection

(OP)
I am trying to design HSS beam to HSS column moment connection. Is there any resource for that. if i will use weld all around is this consider as moment connection.
 

RE: Moment Connection

Depends on your definition of a moment connection. Is it a prequalified connection for a special moment frame...no. Will it resist moment yes.  

I'd recommend reading through AISC Design Guide #24. It's free for AISC members...

RE: Moment Connection

Supplement 1 for AISC 358-10 has a pre-qualified HSS column moment connection.  However, it connects to wide flange beams.  

AISC chapter K (and the commentary) has lots of criteria related to HSS to HSS connections.  I don't think any of them would qualify for seismic moment frames.  But, it does look like some of them would qualify as moment connections of some sort.  

 

RE: Moment Connection

Modes of failure and design producers of HSS to HSS/CHS is completely different ,you have to check punching shear failure and web side failure ,AISC has got design guide lines for these
