" Gusset Beam Column " & " Weld Conn2 " connection design locks

The gusset plate for a wide flange vertical brace to a beam & column is designed per " Gusset Beam Column " locks and can shop weld to the beam per " Weld Conn2 " locks, or it can shop bolt to the beam with a clip angle per " NS/FS Clip Conn2 " locks if the gusset field bolts to the column with a clip angle. The following illustration shows ' Standard ' as the " Connection arrangement ." The gusset field bolts to the column with a clip angle (shown) or shear plate or end plate .

(W vertical brace, standard connection field bolted to gusset, to a beam & column)
(vertical brace " Section size " = wide flange, S shape or welded plate wide flange)
(" Input connection type " = ' Vbrc plate ' or ' User defined ')
(" Web orientation " = ' Vertical ')
(" Connection arrangement " = ' Standard ')

" Gusset Beam Column "
(gusset plate dimensions and location)

" Gusset Beam Column "
(cuts to the gusset plate)

" Weld Conn2 "
(" Gusset to supporting member " = ' Welded ')

Field bolting the gusset to the column : If the beam connects to the column with a clip angle, the gusset plate field bolts to the column with a clip angle . If the beam connects to the column with a shear plate, the gusset field bolts to a shear plate that shop welds to the column. If the beam field bolts to the column with an end plate, the gusset plate also field bolts to the column with an end plate .
