    HSS moment connections with torsion

    Thanks Dozer, I uploaded the new drawing before I saw your post. How do you know that Joints A and B cannot be all around fillet welds?

    HSS moment connections with torsion

    IsaacStructural : Yes that looks quite like what I'm trying to accomplish except that instead of framing it on to a stud wall, I want to connect it to a square HSS beam 2 meters long and this beam will be supported by a concrete block wall. dhengr : I was mainly interested in how to check HSS...

    HSS moment connections with torsion

    That is in fact an incomplete drawing of the chin-up bar. There is another CHS 3 next to the one shown and the handlebar continues on the other side. I only showed half of it to simplify the drawing. Where does the amplification factor for normal stresses come from?

    HSS moment connections with torsion

    Thank you BA. How would you know what to do for these joints? There is torsion in the branch member, which causes torsion in the plane of the welds and I cannot find this case in literature.

    HSS moment connections with torsion

    Hi, I'm designing a chin-up bar made of circular and square HSS sections. I am at a loss as to how to design the connections. Joint A : Two round HSS are welded together at their ends with one member at a 30deg angle. Joint B : A round HSS branch (CHS 3) is welded to a round HSS chord (CHS 2)...
