" Gusset One Member " & " Brace Connection To Gusset Wide Flange 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 One Member " and " Brace Connection To Gusset Wide Flange Flange Plate " locks when ' Flange gussets ' is the selected " Connection arrangement ." The near-side flange gusset is shown in this example. The two gusset plates shop attach to the column per choices made to " Weld Conn2 " or " NS/FS Clip Conn2 " locks.

(hole pattern for field bolting brace to gussets)

. The NS & FS flange gusset plates shop weld or shop bolt to the column 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.

Shop weld, flange gusset plates to the supporting column

Weld size ( weld ):

" Weld Conn2 " locks are available when ' Welded ' is selected for " Gusset to supporting member " under " Connection specifications " on the Vertical Brace Review window.

" NS/FS Clip Conn2 " locks are available when ' Clip angle ' is selected for " Gusset to supporting member ."

A special case : If the supporting column has a narrow flange and ' Welded ' is selected for " Gusset to supporting member ," the flange gussets may shop weld to the supporting column's flange with clip angles.
