The Atlas Tube Advantage: HSS Specification and Its Applications in Structural Design
📅
Wednesday, November 15, 2023Learn how to maximize efficiency and design versatility with HSS in structural engineering.
About this event
Hollow Structural Sections (HSS) have emerged as a revolutionary construction material in today's engineering projects. These innovative sections, characterized by their hollow, tubular shape, are fundamentally changing the way structural engineers approach design and construction. HSS materials have gained prominence for several compelling reasons:
- HSS offers exceptional strength-to-weight ratios. Their hollow structure allows for efficient distribution of loads, making them ideal for applications where weight reduction is crucial while maintaining structural integrity.
- HSS sections are easy to fabricate, cut, and weld, reducing labor and production costs. This ease of handling adds to their appeal for engineers and builders alike.
- As sustainability becomes increasingly important in construction, HSS's recyclability and reduced environmental impact are noteworthy. Using HSS can contribute to green building practices.
Join Brad Fletcher, S.E., Senior Sales Engineer at Atlas Tube, on Wednesday, November 15th, 2023, at 1 pm Eastern Time (ET), as we delve into the world of HSS and its transformative potential in structural engineering.
In this webinar, we will cover:
- What are HSS and how are they made?
- Why are HSS used?
- Understanding HSS specifications
All registered attendees will receive a recording of the webinar after the event.
