" Gusset To Two Beams " & " Brace Connection To Gusset Hss Bolted " connection design locks

A " Gusset To Two Beams " gusset plate can be designed for an HSS horizontal brace to two beams with an interposed column. The HSS brace is fitted with a built-up tee (shown), or other end fitting (not shown), so that it can shop bolt to the gusset plate per " Brace Connection To Gusset Hss Bolted " locks. Depending on the framing situation, the gusset may field bolt directly to each beam's flange, or it may field bolt with clip angles to each beam's web.

(" Input connection type " = ' Hbrc plate ' or ' User defined ')
(" Pipe/tube end fitting " = ' Bolted ' or ' Paddle plate ' or ' Double paddle plate ')
" Gusset cut " = ' Clipped ' or ' Coped '

" Brace Connection To Gusset Hss Bolted "
( welded tee end fitting for shop bolting the brace to the gusset plate )


The horizontal brace shop bolts to the gusset plate , and the gusset plate field bolts to each of the two beams. The " ... Conn1 " and " ... Conn2 " locks control the field bolting of the gusset plate.
