" Gusset 2 Point Square " & " Brace Connection To Gusset " & " HB Conn2 " connection design locks

Wide flange or W tee or double-angle horizontal braces field bolt to a 2- or 3-point gusset that shop welds to the top flange of a beam.

(W or WT or 2L horizontal braces, field bolted to shared gusset, to a beam's top flange)
(horizontal brace " Section size " = W tee, angle ( double ) or wide flange)
(if " Section size " = wide flange, gusset plates are designed on both flanges)
(" Input connection type " = ' Hbrc plate ' or ' User defined ')
(" Clip end operation " = ' No ' or possibly ' Automatic ') .
" Gusset 2 Point Square "
(gusset plate dimensions and location)

" Brace Connection To Gusset "
(holes for field bolting the brace to the gusset plate)

" HB Conn2 "
(shop weld, gusset plate to the beam's top flange)

2-point bracing is shown, but this page also applies to 3-point bracing. Both 2- and 3-point gusset plates shop weld to the top flange of the beam. The horizontal braces field bolt to the shared gusset plate.
Why square? The corner of the gusset plate that the horizontal brace frames across is a square corner (not cut) -- hence the name " Gusset 2 Point Square ."
