About this detail

A typical connection at the top of a chevron brace frames into a beam. The assembly features a gusset plate welded or bolted to the supporting beam with stiffener plates on both sides of the gusset. The work point is located at half the nominal beam depth from the top flange. Fillet weld sizes are specified based on plate thickness, ranging from five-sixteenths of an inch to seven-sixteenths of an inch unless noted otherwise, with heavier plates requiring manufacturer consultation. The connection accommodates both single and double bolt rows for the bracing members.
