About this detail

A typical structural steel connection at the bottom of a chevron brace features a gusset plate welded to a horizontal beam. The gusset plate features bolted connection zones, designated lengths, and stiffeners welded to both sides. A half-inch stiffener plate is applied to the gusset, and additional web stiffeners are placed in the 'z' region as required by the connection schedule. Sections A-A and B-B detail the stiffener plate placements and fillet weld sizes on the beam web. Fillet weld sizes are specified as five-sixteenths of an inch for thicknesses under one and a quarter inches, and seven-sixteenths for thicknesses under two inches.
