This connection details the attachment of truss transverse braces to the bottom chord using three-eighths-inch full height stiffener plates on each side. Three-quarter-inch diameter A307 erection bolts secure the components prior to final welding. Fillet welds of one-quarter-inch size are applied to two sides typically, while five-sixteenths-inch welds with a four-inch minimum length are used elsewhere typical. The intersecting member workpoint and brace centroids are explicitly aligned according to the structural design.
