Have you ever wondered how Hollow Structural Sections (HSS) are made? Does the manufacturing process of HSS affect the way we design with HSS?

We will also cover the manufacturing process for HSS and pipe. HSS is produced in a much different way than other steel products, such as wide flanges.

Understanding the role that project managers play will be beneficial to any engineer, and by attending this webinar, you will gain a stronger grasp of the overall project process.

We will review the definitions of “project” and “project management” and review multiple historical examples of successful project management to emphasize the key points that will be presented.

On July 17, 1981, the fourth floor skywalk at the Kansas City Hyatt collapsed during a dance contest in the hotel atrium. It was the deadliest structural failure in the US: 114 dead and 200 injured.

In this webinar, we will explore the ethical implications of this tragedy, the ways it could have been avoided, and how an engineer’s inattention led to the fabricator changing the original design.

HSS connections have often been a source of mystery for even the most experienced engineers. For many years, there were not many resources here in the US that engineers could turn to.

This presentation attempts to de-mystify HSS connections. While this is not a “how-to” guide, we will highlight areas of HSS connection design that are often overlooked or misunderstood.
