" Brace Connection to Gusset " connection design locks

A wide flange vertical brace field bolts to a gusset plate per choices made to " Brace Connection To Gusset " locks. The wide flange brace's flanges are cut flush to the side of the web (NS or FS) that field bolts to the gusset (" Side of gusset " = ' Near side ' or ' Far side '). The gusset shop welds to a column & base plate (shown) or a column & cap plate (not shown) per choices made to " Weld Conn2 " and " Weld Conn1 " locks.

VIDEO In a full-featured SDS2 program, a wide flange vertical brace produces the failure message, " WF brace flg is too narrow for connection ." This failure message is fixed by switching the " Side of gusset " from ' Center ' to ' Near side ' or ' Far side ', thus instructing the program to field bolt the web of the wide flange directly to the gusset. (Recorded in SDS2 Detailing , v2016.)
