Concentrated force on HSS wall
Concentrated force on HSS wall
(OP)
How can you check a concentrated force on the 20" wall of an HSS 20x4x1/2? I would normally use AISC Chapter K for this design, but Section K1.3b limits the applicability to B/t less than 35. For an HSS 20x4x1/2, the B/t = 20/0.5 = 40. Does this mean that I can not provide a concentrated force on the 20" wall, or is there another section that covers this?

Also have a look at the source documents for AISC Chapter K that were developed by CIDECT ( www.cidect.com ). They may have some guidance on an expanded range for applicability.

Design Guide 3 is about rectangular hollow sections. Also, the CIDECT document "Hollow Sections in Structural Applications" has some additional information and references that aren't in the design guide.
Some of the CIDECT documents are available through AISC for free.
