Welding is generally our “go-to” method for connections to HSS members. However, there are also methods for bolting to HSS members which may increase the efficiency of the connection. 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 bolting options to HSS, which require checking less commonly known limit states in the supporting HSS member.
