" Gusset 2 Point " & " Weld Conn2 " connection design locks

A shared gusset for HSS, pipe or tube vertical braces to a beam can be designed for any " Pipe/tube end-fitting ." For a ' Welded ' end fitting, 0 or 1 or 2 holes are centered on the workline (not shown). The shared gusset may be for 2-point bracing (" Gusset 2 Point ") or 3-point bracing (not shown). A clip angle (" NS/FS Clip Conn2 ") can be used for a 2-point gusset-to-beam connection instead of " Weld Conn 2 ."

(HSS vertical braces, field attached to a shared gusset, to a beam) (vertical brace " Section size " = HSS, pipe or tube) (" Input connection type " = ' Vbrc plate ' or ' User defined ') (" Pipe/tube end-fitting " = ' Bolted ' or ' Paddle plate ' or ' Welded ')
" Gusset 2 Point " (gusset plate dimensions and location)	" Weld Conn 2 " (" Gusset to supporting member " = ' Welded ')
2-point and 3-point bracing . The connection design locks for 2-point bracing (2 braces to a shared gusset) and 3-point bracing are essentially the same. However, users cannot connect a 3-point gusset plate to the supporting beam with a clip angle (" NS/FS Clip Conn2 "). A 3-point gusset plate must be welded to the supporting beam (" Weld Conn2 ").
