Connection Design Software For HSS

Providing proper connection design is critical not only to a structure’s overall performance, but also to its cost-effective construction. With several limit states to consider, the use of software canAIA Approved CE Webinars On Demand: Connection Design Software For HSS (July 2022) greatly assist in designing HSS connections efficiently. This presentation provides an overview of commercially available software for performing HSS connection design for both the delegated steel connection engineer as well as EORs who need to confirm wall thickness is adequate for their delegated steel connections. 0:00 Intro 0:54 Welcome 2:51 Website 3:42 Webinar Topics 4:44 HSS Are Everywhere 8:36 HSS Limit States 15:06 Limit State Tables 16:04 Standalone vs Integrated 21:05 HSS Connection List 25:54 Descon 30:03 Giza 33:05 HSS Connex 36:29 Idea Statica 39:10 Qnect 41:37 Ram Connection 43:32 Risa Connection 45:15 SDS/2 46:35 SKY CIV 48:34 Shear Connection Programs 48:54 Moment Connection Programs 49:12 Truss-Type Connection Programs 49:28 Brace Connection Programs 49:59 Base Plate Connection Programs 50:21 HSS Capabilities 52:28 Calculation Output 53:51 Documentation / Detailing Output 54:43 Subtle Differences 57:20 Summary 58:27 Questions Earn 1.0 PDH and receive a certificate of completion from the Steel Tube Institute (STI) by successfully passing the accompanying quiz.
