A Jolt of Bolting: How to Use Them in HSS Connections [C11] 2025

While many fabricators often prefer bolted connections, engineers sometimes grapple with detailing and designing bolted hollow structural steel (HSS) connections effectively. Join us as we dive into the world of bolting options for HSS, covering everything from conventional bolts and through-bolts to access holes and proprietary one-sided bolts. We’ll uncover HSS-specific limit states, recommended details, and practical design examples to help you select the ideal bolting solution. Discover how to enhance your HSS bolted connections to streamline fabrication and erection.
