" Brace Connection To Gusset Hss Bolted " connection design locks

An HSS, pipe or tube horizontal brace can be fitted with a built-up welded tee that field bolts to the brace's gusset plate per " Brace Connection To Gusset Hss Bolted " locks. The gusset can shop bolt to a beam's web (with a clip angle) or it can shop weld. It can shop weld to a beam's flange. To get connection design to create a gusset plate shaped like that in the example below, the brace needs to frame perpendicular to the beam.

(HSS horizontal brace, end fitting to gusset, perpendicular to a beam's web or top flange)
(horizontal brace " Section size " = HSS, pipe or tube)
(" Input connection type " = ' Hbrc plate ' or ' User defined ')
(" Pipe/tube end fitting " = ' Bolted ')
(" Gusset to brace connection " = ' Welded ' or ' Clip angle ')

" HB Conn2 " (welded) : When " Gusset to beam connection " is ' Welded ', the gusset plate shop welds to the web of the beam, and the welded tee field bolts to the gusset plate.

" NS/FS Clip Conn2 " : When " Gusset to beam connection " is ' Clip angle ', the gusset plate field bolts to the web of the beam with NS and/or FS clip angle(s), and the welded tee shop bolts to the gusset plate.
