Happy Thursday

Can anybody point to a good reference for the detailing/drawing of simple shear tab connections for beams framing into round HSS.

Thank you

You can through-plate if the wall section is too thin to attach to just the face. But avoid if you can as it costs a lot more.

Depending on the diameter of the HSS column, you may be able to make any number of other typical shear connections work, but usually shear tab or through plate is what I've seen.
 
Chapter K??? Is that retirement? just found out that if you have your fingers on the wrong keys... you can type a foreign language.

Rather than think climate change and the corona virus as science, think of it as the wrath of God. Feel any better?

Thank you all for the feedback. Pictures helped a lot regarding the ability to construct it. I'm using 1/2" wall tubing and supporting light loads. I think design guide 9 is 24 for HSS members. Just wanted to make sure I could do a simple tab with out a through plate
 
Enable's pictures are from the CIDECT design guide 9, not AISC - available for free here: As you noted, it is design guide 24 from AISC.

Dik, chapter K is a reference to the AISC steel manual (AISC 360) chapter that pertains to HSS connections.
 
Woopsies! Thanks dauwerda for pointing out my mistake!
 
dauwerda... thanks.
