COLD FORMED RHS TO RHS WITH THE SAME WIDTH
COLD FORMED RHS TO RHS WITH THE SAME WIDTH
(OP)
I have a connection with RHS welded to RHC section with same width, my reference for the welding calculation was AISC specs chapter K (I calculated Le and Sip And sop ), and found the required throat.
i was going to weld the RHS all around and only take the effective lengths as indicated in chapter K procedure and if the spacing between the walls at the edges provided the required throat i would go with it.
But my supervisor didn't approve this concept because he said that this concept is only accepted when dealing with hot rolled sections.
now my question is : if i couldnt use this procedure, what should i do in this case , assuming that i cant weld on the fillet of the RHS as my supervisor suggested will leave me only with two sides to weld.
So LETS DISCUSS THIS PEOPLE :D .

The greatest trick that bond stress ever pulled was convincing the world it didn't exist.

If in doubt, contact your local light gauge steel association and they will very likely be more than happy to help.

I would point out that wide flanges are cold rolled after hot rolling to true up the section.
