Plate Design
(OP)
Can anyone recommend a good reference for design of gusset plates and lug plates? I know that there was an article in AISC Engineering Journal (4th Quarter/1991). But I cannot find it. This provides for a simple procedure without going into a detailed finite element analysis.

Try hitting on this page. It has an article by AISC Steel Tips regarding gusset plates.

I don't know if this is still in publication or not. There have been many suggestions on this site for finding out of print books.
