About this detail

Step-by-step layout procedure for structural steel gusset plates at braced frame connections to columns and beams. The procedure establishes the location of the first bolt line along the work line, inner and outer bolt row offsets, and bolt hole patterns using specified hole sizes, spacings, and edge distances. Minimum weld lengths to the beam and column, including deductions for clips and weld starts and stops, are verified alongside gusset edge widths perpendicular to the work line. Conditions for both double and single rows of bolts at strong axis and weak axis column orientations are included.
