Connection Design References
(OP)
Can anybody give me a good steel reference or two regarding Large Truss or Braced Frame connections(k-bracing or inverted v bracing). Preferably with lots of examples. Thanks in advance.

Indre Jett Handa published a structural engineering handbook with nothing but solved examples.
I hope this helps
RE: Connection Design References
CIDECT publish some good books;
'Design Guide for rectangular hollow section (RHS) joints under predominantly static loading'
'Design Guide for circular hollow section (CHS) joints under predominantly static loading',
'Design Guide for circular and rectangular hollow section welded joints under fatigue loading'
These can be obtained from the Steel Construction Institute here in England (www.steel-sci.org) at £15 each.
Software for tubular joint analysis can be bought from CSC, Leeds, England (www.cscworld.com). An old British Steel program can be currently downloaded from my own website;
