(OP)
Does anybody have any good references on designing gusset plates for compression? I've found some stuff on Whitmore's sections and the like but nothing very explicit in terms of a design algorithm. It's such a common scenario. There's just gotta be somthing out there.

Or try the reference indicated in the above book:
"Guide to Design Criteria for Bolted and Riveted Joints", John W. Fisher and John H. A. Struik, published by John Wiley & Sons, Inc., NY.
RE: Does anybody have any good referenc
Or AISC LRFD Manual Volume II (1994) p.11-19 "Force Transfet in Diagonel Bracing Connections".
By the way, AISC is publishing new AISC LRFD Manual. See their web site www.aisc.org
Good luck

Steel Design Handbook LRFD method
Tamboli
Mc Graw Hill
which is more than average complete on connections by the contribution of knowledgeable engineer/s in the field.

JAE: I checked out those resources that you listed. The sound ideal but I can't get my hands on either of them. Not even used.
whymrg: That was a good start but when it comes to compression of the gusset, the AISC manual just says to make sure the factored resistance is greater that the factored load.
Taro: I looked at that steel tip article (40 pg worth). Good stuff.
ishvaaag: Glad to hear you recomment that Taboli book. Coincidently, I ordered a connection & detailing book written by him this morning.

some of the other reccomended books are steel structures by negi,ramachandra.

There was another thread that directed me to the www.aisc.org site which has a "Steel Tips" section on it. In Steel Tips, you can download the December 1998 article "Seismic Behavior and Design of Gusset Plates", by Abolhassan Astaneh-Asl. It covers gussets in compression. (page 29 I think).
