" Brace Connection To Gusset " connection design locks

A wide flange vertical brace field bolts to a shared 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 shared gusset shop attaches to the beam per choices made to " Weld Conn2 " or " NS/FS Clip Conn2 " 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.)

Connection design does a " Cut flange flush " operation on both the top and bottom flanges. The gusset can shop weld to the beam (" Weld Conn2 ") or, if 2 point, shop bolt with a clip angle (" NS/FS Clip Conn2 ").
