An HSS brace connects to a wide flange steel beam using a 3/8-inch gusset plate welded to the beam flange with a 5/16-inch fillet weld. Three-eighths-inch thick full-height stiffeners are provided on each side of the beam web aligned with the work point. The HSS brace is secured to the gusset plate with an erection bolt as required and welded with a 5/16-inch fillet weld typical. A 1/2-inch clearance and specific spacing dimensions locate the brace intersection along the beam centerline.
