This webinar focuses on three real‑world connection design applications: substation A‑frames, pipe racks, and anchored pipe supports. Featuring case studies from real projects, we’ll examine how engineers are solving HSS connection challenges in practice. Attendees will learn practical approaches for designing and validating HSS connections, understand common pitfalls, and see how modern tools streamline analysis and documentation for these critical structures.
