Design Guide 24: Hollow Structural Section Connections (Second Ed.)

Design Guide 24, Second Ed., provides a much-anticipated update to AISC’s resources for HSS connection design. This updated guide greatly expands upon the background discussion for each connection.

The thorough explanations of the relevant limit states and the experimental results for each connection lend the reader invaluable insight into the rationale behind each connection design procedure. The guide has been expanded to include many new connection types. A dozen new design examples have also been included, bringing the total to 33! Additionally, the discussions, guidance, and procedures for HSS connection design are now consistent with the provisions of the current Specification for Structural Steel Buildings (ANSI/AISC 360-22) as well as the new 16th Ed. Steel Construction Manual.
