HSS LRFD Beam Load Tables
HSS Manufacturing Methods The transformation of steel strip into hollow structural sections (HSS) is the result of operations including forming, welding and sizing. Currentl three methods are being used in North America for the manufacture of HSS. These methods, including two methods and an SAW method, are described below. Both methods meet ASTM A and CSA G-. requirements for the manufacture of HSS, and the sizes included in this publication ma be produced to either standard. The SAW method is not included as a manufacturing process in the ASTM or CSA specification. SAW sizes listed in this publication can be specified to meet desired phsical and dimensional criteria of ASTM A and CSA G-. Electric Resistance Welding () Process In the tube mill, flat steel strip (1) is formed continuousl around its longitudinal ais to produce a round tube. This is done b moving the strip through a progressive set of rolls (-). The strip edges () are heated b either high frequenc induction or contact welding and then forged together b weld rolls to create a continuous longitudinal weld without the addition of filler metal. The weld seam () is then cooled and processed through a set of sizing/shaping rolls which cold-form it into a round (), square () or rectangular () section. 1 Form-Square Weld-Square () Process In the weld mill, driven forming dies progressivel shape the flat strip (1) b forming the top two corners () of the square or rectangular tube in the initial forming station. Subsequent stations form the bottom two corners () of the shape. No cold working of the sides of the shape is performed, and the shape s seam is welded b high-frequenc contacts when the tube is near its final shape and size. The welded tube () is cooled and then driven through a series of sizing stations which qualifies the tube s final dimensions. 1 1 Submerged Arc Weld (SAW) Process Two identical pieces of flat strip (1) are placed in a press brake and formed into two identical halves () of a finished tube size. A backup bar is tack welded to each leg of one of the half-sections (). The two halfsections are fitted together toe-to-toe () and welded b the submerged arc process to complete the square or rectangular section (). 1 1

Foreword Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) beam load tables are presented for rectangular and square Hollow Structural Sections (HSS) manufactured b the electric resistance welding () method and the submerged arc welding (SAW) method. Maimum factored uniform loads for simple laterall supported beams have been calculated in accordance with the AISC "Specification for the Design of Steel Hollow Structural Sections April, 1". This Specification is a supplement to the AISC "Load and Resistance Factor Design Specification for Structural Steel Buildings December 1, ". The factored uniform loads are based upon section propert data for HSS that were recalculated in to account for more precise manufacturing methods. Revised section propert data for HSS is published in "Hollow Structural Sections Dimensions and Section Properties" available from the Steel Tube Institute of North America. Tables are presented for two specified minimum ield point steels; F = ksi and F = ksi. The tabulated factored uniform loads for HSS sizes produced b the and SAW methods are presented in separate tables. The factored uniform loads, in kips, are based upon the fleural design strength specified in the "HSS Specification". Factored uniform loads are also included for HSS defined as slender-element cross-sections. These sections are identified in the tables with an asterisk ( * ) immediatel following the design wall thickness parameter in the heading and a double asterisk ( ** ) immediatel following the effective section modulus, S eff, in the Properties section. The foot weight of the HSS beam is included in the tabulated loads and must be deducted to determine the net load that the beam will support. It is assumed that the loading is applied in the plane of the minor ais and that the HSS beam deflects verticall in the plane of bending onl. Refer to Part Beam and Girder Design, of the AISC nd Edition "Manual of Steel Construction Load & Resistance factor Design" for a discussion of the design strength of beams. Smbols used in these tables follow those used in the AISC "Manual". Table of Contents Page How to use the Beam Load Tables... Beam Load Tables () Square HSS () F = ksi... F = ksi... () F = ksi...

How To Use The Beam Load Tables Eample 1 A simpl supported in. in. / in. HSS beam of F = ksi (ASTM A Gr. B) spans feet. The beam is laterall braced for its entire length. Determine the uniform load capacit for loading in the plane of the minor ais. Enter the F = load table for the HSS/ (page ). Read across the row at the span equal to feet and note that the maimum factored uniform load is equal to kips. Note that this includes the weight of the HSS beam. Eample Select the lightest -inch deep, simpl supported HSS beam of F = ksi (ASTM A Gr.
