Strengthened Joint Design-Update

This document provides details of a tubular joint between chord member 567-412 and brace member 567-558. Key specifications of the joint components are listed, including diameters, thicknesses, material strengths, angles and load cases. Calculations are shown for allowable axial and bending capacities of the brace, accounting for ring stiffening, with the joint found to have a unity check ratio below 1.0, indicating code compliance.
