If you weld a shear tab to (1) face of an HSS steel column, to support a beam with a single shear, bolted connection, you impose an eccentric load on the column.
If you specify a knife-plate, or through-plate shear tab that penetrates (2) opposing HSS faces and is welded to the same (2) faces, if the depth of the through-column shear tab would be equal to the length of the shear tab, would the eccentricity go away?
