Corner Bracing Connection Capacity Based on AISC 360-10/16
DESIGN CRITERIA
For a new TYPICAL detail of bracing connection or existing bracing connection, the interface dimensions of a and b may
not satisfy the basic relationship of the original Uniform Force Method: a - b tanq = eb tanq - ec. This software can determine corner
gusset dimensions based on geometry and can check the gusset interface weld capacities with moment loads.
q
ANGLE BETWEEN BRACE & COLUMN q= 25 0
f
b
ANGLE BTW BRACE & GUSSET EDGE f= 20 0
ANALYSIS
DETERMINE BEST FILLET WELD SIZE PER BRACE THICKNESS (AISC 360 J2.2b)
w= 0.625 in > wMIN = 0.25 in
( USE w = 0.625 in ) < wMAX = (f 0.6 Fu t) / (f 0.707 FEXX) = (0.75 x 0.6 x 58 ksi) t / (0.75 x 0.707 x 70 ksi)
5/8 [Satisfactory] = 1.1795 t = 0.74 in
