Round HSS moment connection 1

[Nitesh Sadashiva]

Hello all,

I have a condition where two round HSS columns (HSS20x0.500) are connecting to embed plate as shown in the sketch. EOR has specified the design moment of 100K-ft along with 100 Kips compression and 20 Kips tension (ASD values). The sample detail provided by EOR shows continuity plate. Since it is a round HSS, I am not sure how this continuity plate can be provided for round HSS. Anyone came across the similar connection? Any design example for similar case is much appreciated.

Looks like a good application for a cast connection (such as Cast Connex) with a welded splice to the tubes.
