About this detail

This structural steel detail shows a typical braced frame beam connected to a gusset plate, incorporating specific weld and bolt design criteria. Weld tabs must be removed after welding per AISC 358-10 Section 3.4, and weld access hole geometry and quality must conform to AWS D1.8 Section 6.10.1.2. The shear tab requires a three-eighths inch plate for A325 bolts or a one-half inch plate for A490 bolts, with alternative welded connections permitted at the contractor's option. Fillet weld sizes are specified proportionally to plate thicknesses, including a minimum one-quarter inch erection weld.
