About this detail

A step-by-step layout procedure for gusset plates at braced frame connections to structural steel columns and beams. The procedure establishes the location of the first bolt line along the work line, inner and outer bolt row offsets, and the bolt hole pattern using specified hole size, spacing, and edge distance. Gusset edge widths are set perpendicular to the work line, and minimum weld lengths to the beam and column are verified including deductions for clips and weld starts and stops. Configurations are provided for both double rows of bolts at strong axis columns and single rows of bolts at weak axis columns.
