Industry-leading tools and resources for building with HSS.

Steel Tube Institute is dedicated to providing industry-leading tools and resources you need to build and specify with confidence.

Access our HSS design manuals

To ensure everyone involved in structural steel has a complete technical resource for using HSS, we've created the HSS design manuals.

Vol. 1 - Section Properties & Design 

Vol. 2A + 2B – 2016 Member Design

Vol. 3 - 2010 and 2016 Connections at HSS Members

Vol. 4 - 2010 and 2016 Truss & Bracing Connections

Discover the HSS Capability Tool and HSS Connex

The HSS Capability Tool helps specifiers locate producers of available sizes of HSS, while HSS Connex gives designers a software tool to check HSS wall thicknesses at connections.

Connecting Hollow Structural Section Members with Through-Bolts

Bolting steel members is often desirable because of ease of erection and the reliability of the joint. However, direct fastening to the wall of a hollow structural section (HSS) member poses a challenge due to difficulties in accessing the inside of the member resulting from its closed shape.READ MORE...

A Growing Demand for Community-Based Transportation

The future of mobility is quickly moving away from vehicle ownership and more towards access to convenient and reliable transportation. This trend places an even greater emphasis on how communities of the future should be built today to provide residents with an alternative mode of connectivity to retail, restaurants, health services, businesses, entertainment, and schools. Now, more advanced community amenities like driverless shuttles are being incorporated into live-work-play developments to address the shift taking place in how people seek to connect from A to B. READ MORE...

Attracting Next Generation's Technical Workforce

The need for more skilled labor has been evident for many years now, long before the pandemic caused workers to leave the industrial sector – from construction and agriculture to transportation and geospatial. At the same time, baby boomers, which make up a large portion of the workforce, are naturally retiring, leaving a shortage of 430,000 construction workers, according to a current tally by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. READ MORE...

Foundations for Extremes – Part I

Join CHANCE® for a two-part webinar to learn how extreme events such as earthquakes, tsunamis, storm surges, hurricanes, floods and other natural disasters often cause substantial damage to the foundation of existing structures that requires rapid response for repair. In some areas, recurring events produce repeating damage to traditional foundations of lightly loaded residential and commercial structures. Learn why helical piles are an attractive engineered solution that can be used to provide rapid high capacity load bearing characteristics in most geologic settings for both new foundations and remedial repair. READ MORE...
