" Gusset Beam Column " & " Brace Connection To Gusset Wide Flange Plate " & " Weld Conn2 "

NS and FS gusset plates field bolt to the left and right flanges of a web-horizontal wide flange vertical brace and are designed per " Gusset Beam Column " and " Brace Connection To Gusset Wide Flange Flange Plate " locks when ' Flange gussets ' is the " Connection arrangement ." The near-side flange gusset is shown in this example. For a brace-to-beam-&-column framing situation, the two gusset plates shop attach to the beam per choices made to " Weld Conn2 " or, if the beam connects to the column with a clip angle, " NS/FS Clip Conn2 " locks.

The NS & FS flange gusset plates shop weld or shop bolt to the beam depending on the choice made to " Gusset to supporting member " under " Connection specifications " on the Vertical Brace Review window. That choice also determines whether you get " Weld Conn2 " locks or " NS/FS Clip Conn2 " locks.

The brace-to-gusset connection consists of a hole pattern for field bolting each brace's flange to a flange gusset.
