June 23, 2020 - 12:00pm to 1:00pm

HSS connections often seem mysterious — but they don’t have to. While not a how-to guide, this presentation highlights aspects of HSS connection design that are often overlooked or misunderstood. Attendees will gain a clear understanding of tension, shear, moment and truss connections, and how they differ from other types of connections.

Learning Objectives

  • Learn about some of the most frequently asked questions about HSS connections
  • Learn to avoid some of the pitfalls associated with HSS connections that can make them costly and difficult to fabricate
  • Learn about unique solutions to common connection challenges

Attendees will receive 1 hour of CE Credit. Certificates will be emailed to attendees after the event.

Registration is FREE, but please RSVP by Friday, June 22nd to receive the access link.
