Does anyone know of a reference for designing a moment connection of two HSS beams using end plates?
Basically a flange connection as you'd see in pipe spools but using square HSS.
I am trying to design welds for torsional loadings (twisting) on HSS.
I am using Blodgett's procedure for welds treated as lines.
Table 4 on page 7.4-6 of Blodgett has the equation for the force on the weld for "twisting" as:
f=T*C/Jw
Jw can readily be determined from table 5 on pg. 7.4-7...
I am sure most here are familiar with the concept of shear flow as it related to horizontal shear stresses in beams.
When designing a I-Shaped plate girder, most references, if not all, will design the weld between the flange and web using the shear formula VQ/I to determine the force on the...
I am in the process of detailing some power transmission poles that bring power from the road into a substation yard for a new facility. My question is, does the electrical contrator usually field drill the holes in the pole for the connections of insulators and other hardware?
