Braced Frames, Moment Frames and Cantilevers
Presenter: Erik Nelson | Structures Workshop
- Lateral systems and interruptions of axial thru forces, collector forces with amplification, and R factors – practical design advice
- Axial and Moment Load paths
- Structural Drawing information for fabricators regarding member axial of collectors vs axial thru forces on braced frames
- Statics on braced frames when collector forces greatly exceed horizontal components of bracing members
- Simple design advice on when axial forces are too high for beam web connections and when moment designation should be used
- Load paths on axial thru forces and moments on stiffener welds within the column web.
- Stiffeners and Doubler plates within moment frames, a discussion

Top Things You Should Know About HSS Connections
Presenter: Brad Fletcher | Atlas Tube
- HSS connections often seem mysterious — but they don’t have to
- While not a how-to guide, this presentation highlights aspects of HSS connection design that are often overlooked or misunderstood
- Attendees will gain a clear understanding of tension, shear, moment and truss connections and how they differ from other types of connections.
