Description

When designing a truss comprised of HSS members, it is common practice for an EOR to specify the truss member sizes and delegate the design of the connection between members  to a specialty engineer or the fabricator’s engineer.  Depending on the connection type and magnitude of loads, the member sizes with the minimum amount of steel may not always lead to the most cost effective connection solutions. To help minimize the fabrication costs, there are rules of thumb and tools available that the EOR can follow.

Learning objectives include:

  • Sizing chord and branch members for efficient connection design.
  • Available tools to aid in efficient connection design without going down the road of designing the connection.
  • Examples of both properly and improperly designed trusses demonstrating the effects on the connection design and total cost of the truss.
