End Plate Splice Types
Several types of HSS end splices are available, each offering unique advantages. In this clip from a recent STI webinar, we provide an overview of bolted end plate splices, discussing how they perform under compression or tension, the differences between bolting on two sides versus all around, considerations for prying action, and where to find code references and design examples.
