" Brace Connection To Gusset Hss Paddle " connection design locks

An HSS, pipe or tube horizontal brace with a paddle plate perpendicular to a beam is designed per " Brace Connection To Gusset Hss Paddle " locks. The paddle plate shop bolts or field bolts to the gusset plate depending on the gusset connection to the beam (' Welded ' or ' Clip angle '). The paddle plate to brace connection " Weld length " controls the notch length in the HSS brace. Locks for spacers are available only for double paddle plates.

(HSS horizontal brace, paddle plate, 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 " = ' Paddle plate ' or " Double Paddle Plate ')
(" Gusset to brace connection " = ' Welded ' or ' Clip angle ')

(paddle plate for an HSS, pipe or tube brace)
" HB Conn2 " (welded): When " Gusset to beam connection " is ' Welded ', the gusset plate shop welds to the web of the beam, and the paddle plate 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 a clip angle, and the paddle plate shop bolts to the gusset plate.
