About this detail

A bottom flange brace connection for a steel joist system uses angle kickers spanning between the structural steel framing, utilizing L-3x3x1/4 angles for lengths up to seven feet and L-4x4x5/16 angles for lengths between seven and eleven feet. Gusset plates measuring three-eighths of an inch thick connect the bracing members typically. Fillet welds of three-sixteenths of an inch secure the connection assemblies. Additional design requirements specify a strength-level wind vertical load of one point zero kips, directed both up and down, at each bracing location.
