" Gusset Column Cap " & " Weld Conn2 " & " Weld Conn1 " & " Brace Connection To Gusset Wide Flange Claw "

The gusset plate for a web-horizontal wide flange vertical brace to a column & base plate (shown) or to a column & cap plate (not shown) is designed per " Gusset Column Cap " locks. When ' Web claw angles ' is the " Connection arrangement ," the brace-gusset connection is designed per " Brace Connection To Gusset Wide Flange Claw " locks. Shop welding of the gusset to the column and column plate is done per " Weld Conn2 " and " Weld Conn1 " locks. If the column is perfectly vertical, the gusset's " Width " is measured horizontally and its " Length " is measured vertically.

" Weld Conn 2 " and " Weld Conn1 "
(shop weld for the gusset plate to the supporting column and column plate)
The gusset plate shop welds to the supporting column as specified by the " Weld Conn2 " locks. The " Weld Conn1 " locks control the shop weld to the base/cap plate. Note that the gusset plate " Length " runs parallel with the supporting member (the column) and that its " Width " runs parallel with the column's depth.
