I am looking for information and/or direction to literature on recommendations of using taper connections for pipe or round tubing to be used for structural applications. For example, I would like to use tapered connections to support a pipe at each end – just as a beam fixed at both ends. Would Taper Morse insure tight joints that can carry bending moment? Information desired is regarding the feasibility in using taper connections for any structural applications. Does this type of connection would insure long term joint integrity and sustain shear and bending moment?
