Welding rectangular tube to circular pipe
Welding rectangular tube to circular pipe
(OP)
For weld stress calculation purposes would a rectangular tube branch welded to a circular main member have more or less weld stress than a rectangular tubing welded to a flat plate?

And that "geometry" means EVERYTHING about the joint:
angle of intersection,
wall thickness of the stock
plate thickness
assumed fillet weld dim's and fillet weld positions and all weld preps and their angles
diameters of the "pipe" and dim's of the tube steel
type of stress on the joint and loads and moments
vibration of acceleration factors
safety issues for the application
type of application and cyclic loads
Draw both.
Show both here as files.

At the loaded end of your beam, I would move your work point to the intersection of the plate and the top of the HSS beam. You'll have a bit of moment in the beam but a much more robust and predictable force teansfer mechanism at the connection. And you'll eliminate bending stresses on your gusset plate.
I like to debate structural engineering theory -- a lot. If I challenge you on something, know that I'm doing so because I respect your opinion enough to either change it or adopt it.
