SMRF with HSS? 1

[seattlemike]

Has anyone seen an approval for a HSS Moment Frame connections as a SMRF? I have seen the standard RBS, WUF-W, WUF-B, etc, etc (although they are not all approved), but I have not seen any discussion of HSS as Special Moment Resisting Frames. Any input?

Thank you,

I don't know of a prequalified HSS SMRF connection. You may need to go to a proprietary system (e.g.
