Bolted HSS Column Splices

This webinar will feature a case study that highlights a common challenge faced by designers of bolted HSS column splices in the US. First, the AISC 341 requirements for column splices in moment resisting frames (MRFs) will be reviewed; then, the common design procedure (in accordance with AISC 360) will be demonstrated; and, finally, a key limitation will be brought to light. Dr. Tousignant will give his perspective on this limitation and demonstrate how new research form Dalhousie University could provide a solution.

Please note: This webinar is part of The Practical Impacts of HSS Design Requirements series and is not included in the NCSEA Webinar Subscription.

Speaker:

Dr. Kyle Tousignant Ph.D., P.E., is an Associate Professor at Dalhousie University in Halifax, NS. His research interests lie primarily in the field of steel structures, including member, connection and system behaviour, design, and construction. His past research activities include the development of design rules for hollow section connections, concrete-filled members, and fillet welds – many of which have been incorporated into Canadian and American national steel design standards. Dr. Tousignant has been the recipient of multiple awards from the Canadian Institute of Steel Construction, Canadian Standards Association, Canadian Society for Civil Engineering, and the International Institute of Welding. He is Vice Chair of the CSA Technical Committee (TC) on Design and Construction of Steel Structures (S16) and a Voting Member of the CSA TC on Welding of Bridges, Buildings and Machinery (W59).
