Gusset Plate Bracing Connection

About this detail

A structural brace top connection frames into a steel column and beam assembly. The gusset plate connects to the column and beam via fillet welds, with five-sixteenth inch welds specified on three sides top and bottom typically. A gusset support plate is included, requiring a one-half inch minimum thickness for gusset plates less than two inches and a three-quarter inch minimum thickness for gusset plates greater than or equal to two inches. The working point is located at the center of the column and one-half of the actual beam depth.
