About this detail

A structural steel connection at the top and bottom of a brace frames into a column with gusset plates. Gusset support plates require a minimum thickness of one-half inch for gusset thicknesses under two inches, and three-quarters of inch for gusset thicknesses greater than or equal to two inches. Fillet welds of five-sixteenths inch are specified on three sides, top and bottom, typically. Bolted connections secure the bracing members to the gusset plates, with working points established at the center of the column and one-half of the actual beam depth.
