Is this a do-able moment connection? 1

[KootK]

I'm trying to make a moment connection between two HSS members. They're radiused but we won't worry about that for now.

Welding isn't an option and the achitect is pushing hard for a clean looking connection.

I came up with an idea that is shown in the attached sketch. Is this even possible? Am I asking for nightmarish istallation headaches?

Any advice would be appreciated.

P.S. I know this would be a highly uneconomical connection.

Thanks,

Adam

rb1957, BA, Ron have it. Suggest using Unbrako countersunk bolts. Some of the other proposals ignored the requirement for no site welding.
