" Gusset 2 Point Square " connection design locks

W tee or channel vertical braces field bolt directly to a shared gusset plate that shop attaches to a beam. The corners of the gusset plate (" Gusset 2 Point Square ") are square due to " Clip end operation " being set to ' No ' or, possibly, to ' Automatic '. This applies to 2-point bracing (shown) and 3-point bracing (not shown).

(WT or C vertical braces, field bolted to shared gusset, to a beam) (vertical brace " Section size " = channel or W tee) (for a W tee, " Stem orientation " = ' Horizontal ') (" Input connection type " = ' Vbrc plate ' or ' User defined ') (" Clip end operation " = ' No ' or possibly ' Automatic ')

" Gusset 2 Point Square " (gusset plate dimensions and location)

2-point and 3-point bracing . The connection design locks for 2-point bracing (2 braces to a shared gusset) and 3-point bracing are essentially the same. However, you cannot connect a 3-point gusset plate to the supporting beam with a clip angle. A 3-point gusset plate must be welded to the supporting beam.
