About this detail

A structural steel bracing connection features a gusset plate welded to the supporting beam and column assembly with specified fillet and complete-joint-penetration welds. Incoming structural steel beams connect using standard C1 beam connections with seven-eighths inch diameter A325-PT bolts in standard holes through the beam, gusset plate, and vertical stiffener plates. Stiffener plates are detailed with plate thickness matching the beam flange plus one-eighth inch and matching the flange width where required. Vertical slotted holes may be used in the stiffener plate at the contractor's option, maintaining a two-inch minimum edge distance to the vertical stiffener plate. An optional member shown by others accommodates up to five thousand pounds maximum ultimate load in any direction with a three-foot maximum extension above the top of steel elevation.
