name for these triangle plates used to strengthen moment capacity of welded connection? I currently estimate the moment capacity of these connections as if the plate is not there. Working to see how I can take these plates into account, I assume the moment capacity with is stronger than without, how much can't say. Anyone know what these are being called, in the engineering world or even by the fab/iron workers?

To analyze the gusset itself, I treat it as if divided into strips along the free edge, and use column equations to find the allowable strength of each strip. Then make the assumption that one strip can't buckle unless the whole thing does, so sum or integrate the resulting strengths to find total vertical load or total moment load that can be applied to the gusset. There should be potential for a nice master's thesis in those things.

Rather than think climate change and the corona virus as science, think of it as the wrath of God. Feel any better?

It would be good to change your thread title, as you are not asking about "movement", but rather about moment. Also in the first sentence. Two very different things.

That's why I like thicker baseplates... best of both worlds... I wish engineers would do this.

If they are too stiff then you will get buckling and/or cracking at the ends.
And remember to notch the inside enough to clear the inside weld so that you have overlapping welds.
