" Gusset One Member Square " & " Brace Connection to Gusset " & " Weld Conn2 "

An L (shown) or WT or C vertical brace field bolts directly to its gusset plate per " Brace Connection to Gusset " locks. The corner of the gusset (" Gusset One Member Square ") is square under the brace due to " Clip end operation " being set to ' No ' or, possibly, to ' Automatic '. The gusset plate shop attaches to a column.

(L WT or C vertical brace, field bolted to gusset, to a column) (vertical brace " Section size " = angle) (" Clip end operation " = ' No ' or possibly ' Automatic ') (" Input connection type " = ' Vbrc plate ' or ' User defined ')
" Gusset One Member Square " (gusset plate dimensions and location)	" Brace Connection To Gusset " (holes for field bolting the brace to the gusset)
" Weld Conn2 " (" Gusset to supporting member " = ' Welded ')	The vertical brace in these drawings frames across a gusset plate corner that is square. For this reason, you get locks named " Gusset One Member Square ." You get such locks when the vertical brace is an angle (shown), a W tee (stem horizontal) or a channel.
