Explore Resources HSS Blind Structural Fasteners september 15, 2021 Connections to HSS are tricky to design and install. Welding is a common choice for attaching to HSS members, however, this requires significant cost for field installation in terms of dollars and schedule time. Bolting is an appealing alternative option to speed up field installation and remove the welding labor costs, but bolt installation can be difficult without easy access to the back side of the connection due to the closed nature of HSS members. This is where mechanical connections from one side become useful to increase the feasibility of field-installed connections other than welding. There are many options for a one-sided connection such as through-bolts, blind structural fasteners, threaded studs, and flow-drilling. STI has some information available in past articles for these situations which can be found here: link 1, link 2. This article will focus only on the category of blind structural fasteners 1) explaining the pertinent design limit states necessary to properly design the connection and 2) listing available proprietary options and how they work. READ MORE...
