Webinar On Demand: STI: Your Resource for Designing with HSS (March 2025)

Description

Level: Beginner

With superior utility and versatility, the advantages of building with steel Hollow Structural Sections (HSS) are limitless. The Steel Tube Institute has paired with experts to continually develop the tools and resources you need to bring your projects to life. This free webinar will introduce new tools as well as provide an overview of the many benefits that STI offers, including the recently developed HSS effective weld length calculator and updated Limit State Tables. In addition, practical design examples will show you how to apply these tools throughout the stages of designing with HSS – from sourcing tubes, to designing connections, and more. (1.0 PDH)

• Understand the HSS design requirements in AISC 360-22 using the Tube Tool
• Select an adequate HSS column using the HSS and WF Column Selection Guide
• Calculate an effective weld length to an HSS tube
• Verify tube wall thickness adequacy using STI’s HSS Connex software

Speaker
Beth has worked for 25 years as a structural engineer in the fields of consulting engineering, software, and continuing education. During her first few years, her experiences in construction defect litigation cemented her understanding of how and how NOT to design a structure. She spent the following years as a practicing consulting engineer in San Diego, and later as a director of structural software sales and development with Bentley. In her current position with FORSE, she continues to pursue both the design and educational aspects of structural engineering. One topic Beth highlights is structural steel HSS design, as a technical consultant to the Steel Tube Institute. Beth is a licensed PE and SE in California and a licensed PE in Arkansas.
