About this detail

Step-by-step layout procedure for structural steel gusset plates at braced frame connections, shown for both single and double rows of bolts at strong-axis and weak-axis column orientations. The procedure establishes the location of the first bolt line along the work line, inner and outer bolt row offsets, and bolt hole patterns using specified hole sizes, spacings, and edge distances. Gusset edge widths are determined perpendicular to the work line, including minimum weld length returns to the beam and column with necessary deductions for clips and weld starts and stops.
