Through-Bolts and Blind Bolts to HSS

Explore bolting techniques for connecting to HSS members, gain insights into HSS limit states, deep dive into through-bolting and one-sided bolt options through design examples, and learn about proprietary bolts for efficient and accessible connections. Earn 1.0 PDH or 1.0 LU/HSW upon completion. There are methods for bolting to HSS members that may increase the efficiency of the connection relative to welds. The main challenge for using bolts with HSS members is access to the interior of the member – conventional bolts require access to both sides of the bolt during installation. This free session will explore through-bolting and one-sided bolt options to HSS, which require checking less commonly known limit states in the supporting HSS member. 0:00 Intro 3:56 Agenda 5:03 Basics of Bolting to HSS 23:10 Through Bolts 32:27 Through Bolt Example 46:50 Blind Bolts 54:24 Blind Bolt Example 1:08:15 Questions Earn 1.0 PDH and receive a certificate of completion from the Steel Tube Institute (STI) by successfully passing the accompanying quiz.
