Chevron Gusset Plate Design
Chevron Gusset Plate Design
(OP)
I am looking to design a Chevron braced connection and was wondering if anyone had any advice as to what resource/s I should look at. My company uses DesconBrace to carry out the bulk of our connection designs; however, chevron braced connections designed in DesconBrace always return a comment regarding stiffening of the gusset plate without describing how one would do this. Any direction in this regard would be greatly appreciated.

Example II.C-5.
HSS braces to a wideflange beam, chevron configuration.
I'm pretty sure it covers designing the gusset thickness.
