SUMMARY OF RESULTS
A. Face Mounted Gusset Plate
The design strength for face mounted gusset plates is determined from the limit state for the
wall of the HSS and the gusset plate itself.
The limit states are:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.

Shear strength of the HSS Wall.


Yielding of the HSS Wall.
Strength of the weld connecting the gusset to the HSS.
Strength based on buckling of the gusset plate. (Compression)
Strength based on bolting to the gusset plate.

SUMMARY OF RESULTS
A. Face Mounted Gusset Plate
The design strength for face mounted gusset plates is determined from the limit state for the
wall of the HSS and the gusset plate itself.
The limit states are:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.

Shear strength of the HSS Wall.


Yielding of the HSS Wall.
Strength of the weld connecting the gusset to the HSS.
Strength based on buckling of the gusset plate. (Compression)
Strength based on bolting to the gusset plate.

SUMMARY OF RESULTS
A. Face Mounted Gusset Plate
The design strength for face mounted gusset plates is determined from the limit state for the
wall of the HSS and the gusset plate itself.
The limit states are:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.

Shear strength of the HSS Wall.


Yielding of the HSS Wall.
Strength of the weld connecting the gusset to the HSS.
Strength based on buckling of the gusset plate. (Compression)
Strength based on bolting to the gusset plate.
