Register for STI’s December Webinars

Earn your PDHs in December from the Steel Tube Institute.

Want to expand your knowledge of hollow structural sections (HSS)? The Steel Tube Institute (STI) is presenting a series of webinars on a variety of HSS topics. We invite you to join our next webinars.   Tube-to-Tube Design Examples December 1, 2021 11:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m. CST HSS members can be used for many different applications, but they are often seen in tube-to-tube configurations such as trusses, wind girts and braces. These uses, however, can result in unique design considerations. During the webinar, we will demonstrate how to determine applicable limit states, evaluate detailing options for HSS beams, and discuss special considerations for laterally offset connections and how to translate calculation results to details. Register Now Yield-Line Analysis in Practice December 15, 2021 11:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m. CST Note: This webinar was originally scheduled for July 14. If you previously registered for this webinar for the July 14 date, we have your registration and you are automatically added for this December 15 webinar. You will receive your GoToWebinar login email soon. One distinction that sets HSS connections apart from open section connections is weak axis bending of the HSS connecting face, leading us to the ever-intimidating yield-line analysis. Yield-line analysis has been widely used in the analysis and design of steel members and connections to determine their ultimate strength and resistance. During this webinar, we will discuss basic various theories dealing with yield-lines and explain yield-lines in open- and closed-section members, cover plates, and welded and bolted connections. We will also provide an analysis of concentrated loads on HSS. Register Now 30-Day Free Trial of HSS Connex STI's HSS Connex web-based tool offers designers a simple way to check HSS wall thicknesses to aid in efficient HSS connection design. The tool performs limit state checks at HSS walls, which is great for determining whether reinforcing will be required. HSS Connex is available for HSS Professional Members, and STI is now offering a 30-day free trial to HSS Connex.
