Brace Connection Eccentricity
Brace Connection Eccentricity
(OP)
I have an HSS brace that's in compression. It is being connected at one end with 2 channels. The channels would be welded to the brace at the four corners of the HSS. Is there an eccentric moment in the channels/HSS from the compressive force? If so, is it M = C x e where 'e' is the distance from the centroid of the HSS to the centroid of the channel? See attached picture.
Thanks.

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.
