" Gusset Beam Column Square " connection design locks

A W tee or channel vertical brace to a beam & column field bolts directly to its gusset plate per " Gusset Beam Column Square " locks. The gusset plate is square due to " Clip end operation " being set to ' No ' or, possibly, to ' Automatic '. The gusset can shop weld to the beam (" Weld Conn2 "), or it can shop bolt with a clip angle (" NS/FS Clip Conn2 ") if the beam has a clip angle. The gusset field bolts to the column with a clip angle or shear plate or end plate .
