Hollow Structural Section (HSS) Connections

Limcon V3 checks common connections in steel hollow structural sections (HSS). The principal reference for these connections is the ASI publication, Design of Structural Steel Hollow Section Connections. The book, which uses CIDECT design models, covers these connections:

• Base plate
• Cap plate connection
• Single plate (fin plate) connection
• Bracing connection
• Flattened end CHS
• Welded tee end
• Slotted end plate
• Mitred knee connection
• Y & T connection
• X connection
• K & N gap connection
• K & N overlap connection

Limcon permits the checking of all the above connection types.
