What Your Fabricator Wishes You Knew About HSS

April 2, 2020 | Thu 12:00 America/Chicago

Duration: 1.5 Hours

CE Credits: 1.5

$300

There is a common misconception that structures using hollow structural sections (HSS) are more expensive than those comprised primarily of open sections. This presentation sets out to bust that myth – with insights direct from fabricators. The truth of the matter is that it is in the fabrication of HSS where costs can creep up, far more than the cost of the actual steel itself. So proper HSS member design and connections have a significant influence on the total fabricated cost of a structure. The Steel Tube Institute (STI) went directly to fabricators to learn how to reduce the costs of HSS fabrication and connections. This presentation is designed to share those insights, helping engineers learn what fabricators wish they knew about HSS.

  • Course will award 1.5 hours of continuing education
  • This course is Diamond Review approved in 49 states. New York does not accept hours from recordings.
