" Brace Connection To Gusset " connection design locks

A stem-vertical W tee vertical brace field bolts to its gusset plate per choices made to " Brace Connection To Gusset " locks. Since the brace's " Connection type " is ' Coped flange ', the W tee's flange is cut flush to the side of the web (NS or FS) that the gusset will bolt to. The gusset plate shop attaches to a beam & column.


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.)

The gusset plate shop welds to the beam (" Weld Conn2 "), or can shop bolt with a clip angle (" NS/FS Clip Conn2 ") if the beam has a clip angle. The gusset field attaches to the column with a clip angle (shown) or shear plate or end plate .
