Review: Gusset One Member

" Gusset One Member " & " Weld Conn2 " connection design locks

A gusset plate shop attached to a column is designed per "

Gusset One Member " locks. A wide flange vertical brace connects to the gusset with flange paddle plates when ' Paddle plates ' is the " Connection arrangement ." The gusset plate shop welds to the column per "

Weld Conn2 " locks or can, if specified, shop attach with a clip angle ("

NS/FS Clip Conn2 ").

(vertical brace " Section size " = wide flange, S shape or welded plate wide flange)
(" Input connection type " = ' Vbrc Plate ' or ' User defined ')
(" Web orientation " = ' Vertical ')
(" Connection arrangement " = ' Paddle plates ')

" Gusset One Member "
(In this example, " refx " is negative)

" Gusset One Member "
(acute side and obtuse side cuts)

" Weld Conn2 "
(" Gusset to supporting member " = ' Welded ')

. The gusset plate shop welds or shop bolts 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 includes paddle plates that shop weld to the gusset plate and field bolt to the flanges of the vertical brace. The paddle plates are controlled by the " Brace Connection To Gusset Wide Flange Paddle " locks.
