Spreadsheet Design Tools for HSS Connections

During the January and February 2014 SE University sessions, Kim Olson from FORSE Consulting discussed spreadsheet design tools that were being developed in conjunction with the Steel Tube Institute (STI) for different types of HSS Connections. These design tools are now available through the Steel Tube Institute under Products – Resources – Design Aids.

Spreadsheet tools that are available include the design of a WF Beam to HSS Column Shear Connection, a WF Beam to HSS Column Moment Connection, and an HSS to HSS truss connection. Each spreadsheet includes a Narrative worksheet with instructions for using the file.

Registration is required with the STI website to download these files.
