" Gusset 2 Point Square " & " Brace Connection To Gusset " & " HB Conn2 "

A 2-point gusset for wide flange or W tee or double-angle horizontal braces is designed per " Gusset 2 Point Square " locks when the brace's " Clip end operation " is set to ' No ' or, possibly, to ' Automatic '. The gusset can be ' Welded ' (" HB Conn2 "), or attached to the beam with a ' Clip angle ' (not shown) depending on the choice made to " Gusset to beam connection ." 3-point gusset plates cannot be bolted to a beam's web with a clip angle.

(W or WT or 2L horizontal braces, field bolted to shared gusset, to a beam's web)
(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 ')
(" Gusset to beam connection " = ' Welded ' or ' Clip angle ')
(" Clip end operation " = ' No ' or possibly ' Automatic ')

" HB Conn2 "
(" Gusset to beam connection " = ' Welded ')

" HB Conn2 " (welded): When " Gusset to beam connection " is set to ' Welded ', the gusset plate shop welds to the web of the beam.
" NS/FS Clip Conn2 ": Setting " Gusset to beam connection " to ' Clip angle ' shop bolts a 2-point gusset to the web of the beam with a clip angle. 3-point gusset plates cannot be bolted and must always be welded.
