Elliptical Hollow Sections (EHS) have become popular in recent years due to their aesthetic and elegant appearance. Apart from its architectural advantages, it has many advantages in terms of engineering. However, there is no design guide for the design of the joints made of EHS.

Therefore, the equivalent box profile approach may not always yield economic and safe results.
