Not really, that's about the only column size check required as I understand it. Often this is referred to as a form of punching shear or shear transfer check.The formula presented appears to set a limit of the HSS wall based on the shear tab thickness. There should be a lot more to it than that.
AISC 360-16 Comm. K2.3 said:Over a wide range of connections tested, only one limit state was identified for the rectangular HSS column: punching shear failure related to end rotation of the beam, when a thick shear plate was joined to a relatively thin-walled HSS. In previous editions of the Specification, the available shear strength of the HSS wall was compared to the available tensile strength of the plate. Because the check only applies to single-plate shear connections, it has been removed from the Specification. A check has been added to the AISC Manual that investigates punching shear of the HSS wall due to a beam end reaction applied eccentrically, with the eccentricity being the distance from the HSS wall to the center-of-gravity of the bolt group.
