Gussett Plates...curious
- Thread starter hippo11
- Start date
A bracket plate (or gusset) that has the free edge parallel to the direction of the load behaves differently than one cut to create a triangle. This is discussed in "Steel Structures Design and Behavior" by Salmon and Johnson. In the fourth edition see section 13.4 and 13.5. It's too complicated to go into here (ok, ok and I don't have the brain power) but I just wanted to point out that there is a difference.
