Hollow structural section (HSS) bracing and beams connect to a wide flange column. Gusset plates weld to the column and beam flanges, while HSS members connect via fillet welds or bolted configurations per the accompanying schedule. The schedule defines specific lengths for L1 and L2 and weld sizes W1 and W2 based on HSS member dimensions. A typical beam-to-column connection utilizes a three-quarter inch thick plate and three three-quarter inch diameter A325N bolts. Work points align at the intersection of beam and brace centerlines for fabrication and erection.
