chs vierendeel frames
i am looking for information on joint capacities for a vierendeel frame made up of chs members. i have formulae for joint plastification for bracing members in chs to chs connections but these are only for axial forces.

cant offer you any specific advice, but the followwing 2 websites may help:
"hollow structural section: connections and trusses - a design guide" by jeff packer is one of the better hss design manuals currently published.
