HSS T/Y Joint

Axially-loaded branch on rectangular HSS chord — checks chord plastification, punching shear, and sidewall yielding per AISC 360 Ch. K.

Input

Results

β = Bb/B
ϕ Pn (chord plastification)
ϕ Pn (punching shear)
ϕ Pn (sidewall yielding)
Governing ϕ Pn
DCR = Pu / ϕ Pn
Method

AISC 360 Table K2.2 — Chord plastification (β ≤ 0.85): ϕPn = ϕ·Fy·t²·[(2η/(1−β)) + 4/√(1−β)]/sin θ, ϕ=1.0. Punching shear (β ≤ 1−1/γ): ϕPn = ϕ·0.6·Fy·t·Bb·(1+1/sin θ)/sin θ. Sidewall yielding (β=1.0): ϕPn = ϕ·2·Fy·t·(5t + Hb/sin θ)/sin θ.
