Abstract

In the past 10 or 15 years, the gusset plate has been utilized to an increasing extent in structural steel frameworks to connect bracing members to web and chord members in trusses, This has had and to columns and beams in building structures. particular applications in heavy industrial structures, such as those used for power plants (See Fig. 1). The axial load from the bracing member is transferred to the beam and column through the gusset plate, which is normally bolted to the bracing member and connected to the column and beam by bolts or welds.
