Reviews of STI's HSS Design Manual, Volume 3??

(OP)
Does anyone have a copy of the latest HSS Design Manual, Volume 3, from the Steel Tube Institute?

https://steeltubeinstitute.org/hss/membership-manu...

I am looking for some additional resources for designing moment connections of WF beams to HSS columns and I was thinking this might be of use. A co-worker used older versions of this publication at a former job and remembered it being useful, but I was curious if anyone had any thoughts on the latest version. I already have the AISC DG-24 and have looked at CIDECT #9, but I am looking for more information and design examples than what is given in these publications for some of the other connection types listed in AISC Manual (13th Edit., pg. 12-21). STI doesn't list the table of contents or give previews on their website, and I couldn't find any other reviews through google, so was hoping for more information I buy it.

I have a copy. It's an excellent resource for your purpose. The table of contents sections pertaining to moment connections are shown below, as are some of the cases considered.






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.

KootK, thanks so much!

KootK,
Any chance you could post a similar shot of the TOC for the shear section?
I`ve taken a recent interest in seated connections on HSS columns and wonder if that's addressed here.

Sure thing Once20036. It looks promising.
