Trusses are amongst the most common applications of Hollow Structural Sections (HSS). The joints and connections of HSS members in trusses can be the cause of confusion during design and of unneeded costs during fabrication. This presentation will highlight how to avoid some of the common pitfalls when designing and detailing HSS truss connections and joints. Through some simple rules of thumb, it will be shown that proper sizing of truss members and proper design of truss joints and connections can lead to a much more cost-effective and efficient structure.
