About this detail

This structural detail outlines the layout procedure for steel brace gusset plate connections at strong and weak axis column-beam junctions. The step-by-step procedure establishes the first bolt line along the work line, defines inner and outer bolt row offsets, and maps out the bolt hole pattern using specified hole sizes, spacings, and edge distances. Minimum weld lengths are maintained along the beam and column interfaces with specified weld returns and minimum clearances. The diagram covers configurations featuring both single and double rows of bolts on the brace connection.
