" 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 column 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.)

2-point bracing is shown, but " Brace Connection To Gusset " locks also apply to 3-point bracing. The gusset can shop weld to the column (" Weld Conn 2 ") or, for 2-point bracing, can shop bolt with a clip angle (" NS/FS Clip Conn2 "). A wide flange column is shown, but the column can also be other material types .
