" Brace Connection To Gusset Hss Paddle " connection design locks

HSS, pipe or tube horizontal braces with paddle plates field bolt to a 2- or 3-point shared gusset plate per " Brace Connection To Gusset Hss Paddle " locks. The paddle 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 braces, field attached to shared gusset, to a beam's web) (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 " (2-point only) = ' Welded ' or ' Clip angle ') (3-point gussets must be welded to the beam)
