About this detail

A typical chevron brace connection features a gusset plate attached to indentations on the underside of a steel beam. The working point is located at one-half the nominal beam depth from the top flange, with gusset stiffeners welded on both sides. Stiffeners are provided at the z-region where required per the connection schedule, and web doubler plates are added at the beam midspan when specified. Fillet welds join the stiffeners and gusset, with specific weld sizes dictated by plate thickness.
