Gusset Plate Welded Connection

About this detail

A welded truss connection occurs below the gusset plate. The assembly comprises a three-quarter-inch thick by forty-inch wide grade 65 flange plate and a three-quarter-inch thick slot stiffener plate. A three-quarter-inch thick by twenty-six-inch wide each side grade 65 web plate connects to the flange plate using complete joint penetration welds on each flange with E80 electrodes and five-sixteenth-inch fillet welds. Shims are aligned at gaps with welds oversized by the shim thickness when using the contractor's optional alternate weld configuration.
