Gusset plate connections to the ends of hollow structural section (HSS) members are regularly used in steel-framed buildings and roof trusses. Recent research on this connection type has indicated that current design recommendations for preventing tensile failure induced by shear lag may be overly conservative. This paper presents an experimental study on 13 gusset plate end connections to circular and elliptical HSS members under quasi-static tension and compression loadings. Current design proposals
