Hi,
In a situation like the sketch attached, how would we determine the thickness of the plate? It does not fall into a particular situation as listed in table 4-2 in S16.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks for the reply. I couldn't drop the cap plate down becaise there is ano beam coming in the perpendicular direction and it's moment connected to the column as well, so I am connecting top flange of that beam with the cap plate directly. Den32 you are right, I haven't checked if I can just...
Thank you all for the helpful responses! Yes, I am aware that if the brace is in the middle of a beam line, then there is transfer force going through the column, but if it is at the end, I always feel that even though the horizontal component of the brace load is going into the beam, it would...
Hi,
When connection the gusset of a concentric brace at the end of a braceline, do we need to connect the gusset for axial load from the horizontal conponent of the brace to the column or is the axial load canceled by the shear from teh deck?
Please refer to attached sketch for clarification...
Hi, my question is related to wall doubler plate used for wide flange beam to HSS Column moment connection. Hollow Structural Section Connection and Trusses design guide (FROM CISC) talked about the design of this kind of connection by checking a few failure modes. Failure mode (d) discussed on...
Hi Gump,I was actually using the KISS method. Using that method, if the gusset slots into the column, and if the workpoint is at the top of the cap plate, then there is no moment to the colmun, is there? Please refer to the sketch attached. I guess there will be moment to the beam since the...
Hi Gumpmaster, I will look tht up, I am just wondering are steel tips for free or is it only for AISC member? Since I am in Canada, company didn't join AISC.
Yes the Column is a HSS column. For this particular project, structural engineer on record specified the workpoint to to be on top of the...
Thanks nutte for the response, you are right, maybe skipping the zone can help, but it would look kind of awkward (just my opinion). yeah even it I increas the plate to 3/4" it still does work due to the geometry with the weld length required. 1" will do, but seems a little excessive for...
When designing brace to gusset plate connection for seismic, a large gusset plate is often resulted when the brace come towards the adjacent members at a steep angle while satisfying the 2t distance for ductility. This results in long free gusset plate edges. When stiffener is added to...

Thanks connectegr
I should have stated my que more clearly, and I didn't notice that the hidden lines didn't show up in my sketch and a line was missing. Attached is a better sketch
The deck is only puddle welded to the beams, but there is a 275kips thru force at certain locations pass through...
Thank you for the quick replies.
Maybe I should have clarify my sketch a bit more, the column is actually a HSS column and there is a knife plate going through it to support the beams on two sides.
The reason why I added the knife plates to the bottom flanges of the beams was because the axial...
Hi All,
I have a question regarding eccentricity on the bolts in the axial loaded connection as shown in the attached PDF.
Do we assume that the pass through load acts along the centriod of the beam and create an eccentricity to the bolt group or can we ignore that and assume that the load...
