A typical brace top connection where a gusset plate frames into a steel column and beam assembly. The work point is located at the center of the column and one-half the nominal beam depth from the top flange. The connection incorporates fillet welds and bolted or welded interfaces, with dimensions Lgb and Lgc indicated approximately. A web doubler plate may be required at the beam-column-gusset intersection per the corebrace connection schedule.
