Gusset plate with v3

Gusset plate with v3

Gusset plate with v3

(OP)
I have a gusset plate connection with V3 in the diagonals. The pdf shows a side view of the connection.

i was wondering if we could discuss the effects of V3 on this connection, of course the main concern is bending of the plate, but how will it bend , what is the eccentricity?, what is the section that will resist the moment?

i could use your valuable theories :)

RE: Gusset plate with v3

I don't quite know what you mean by "V3 in the diagonals". Is this a Euro Code thing?

RE: Gusset plate with v3

Do you mean it has a shear out of plane with respect to the brace? with respect to your sketch, acting in and out of the page?

I mean shear out of plane , sorry for not being clear enough guys :$

RE: Gusset plate with v3

You could:

1) Examine a line of flexure running perpendicular to the brace at the end of the brace.
2) Examine a fictional strip of the gusset as a beam spanning perpendicular to the brace.
3) Do some fancy yield line voodo.

What's the source of the V3 load? Is it wind? Or is this a horizontal brace with a T-Rex skeleton suspended at mid-span?

No matter how you evaluate the V3 resistance, by the book you ought to combine those stresses with the stresses flying around due to other load sources. In practice, however, the V3 loads are usually dwarfed by the bracing loads. In theses cases, many a rational engineer has chosen not to sweat the V3 business.

The greatest trick that bond stress ever pulled was convincing the world it didn't exist.
