About this detail

A heavy steel truss intersection has a diagonal member framing into a chord and vertical member via gusset plates. A three-quarter-inch web plate connects with a group of eighteen Group B bolts in standard holes, framed by flange plates measuring one-half by fourteen inches aligned with the chord web and centered on the grid. The diagonal member connects through a gusset plate four inches thick, with flange plates extended and aligned parallel to the support truss chord flange. Fillet welds of nine-sixteenth-inch size are specified on three sides where indicated by the welding symbols. Vertical truss member webs are shown without flanges for clarity, aligning with centerlines and work points established across the truss assembly.
