Bolting of the follow sections 10

[Bozo_Sam]

Hi there,

could someone provide some general guidance on how to bolt together multiple hollow sections? I am using only rectangular sections.

Also, I attached the figure below and am interested in which of the two ways is the "correct" one, when it comes to connecting two rectangular sections side by side.

Many thanks,

Uroš

You can't weld the backside of both angles to the HSS, can you?

CANPRO,

You are correct. I apologize for my mistake.

The welds within the red circles would be categorized as flare bevel grooves. If the governing code is one of the AWS structural welding codes, the maximum size of the weld is a function of the radius, welding process, and welding position.

They would most likely be shop welded prior to being field assembled.

Best regards - Al

The two sections aren't bolted together when being welded in this scenario.

Methinks he has found other interests.

GG,

Thanks. My brain went for vacation that day.
