Typical Examples Here we’ll look at some typical examples of a hollow section beam to beam connections. The first examples illustrate a hollow section beam bolted to a hollow section supporting member – as mentioned in the Introduction, this is not a widely used configuration and are used in mainly single-storey lightweight structures. Figs. 1 […]

Square, Rectangular, and Round Hollow Structural Section (HSS) The hollow section profile possesses a greater strength-to-weight ratio than conventional open sections which allows for a greater flexibility in use due to its enhanced efficiency and inherent resistance to compression and torsion. This makes them ideal for use as structural column, shafts, trusses, composite beams and

Generally, hollow section trusses and lattice girders are welded together in the workshop and delivered to site as a unit, this allows for better quality control and more efficient site erection. The trusses usually connect at each end to a support column, but they may connect to another truss forming a space frame. Trusses may
