Vertical brace connection design to AISC 360 starts with the Uniform Force Method, which splits each brace force between the gusset-to-beam interface, the gusset-to-column interface and the beam-to-column connection. Then each interface gets its own checks: the brace bolts and the gusset at the brace, the weld and the beam web where the gusset meets the beam, the bolted single plate where the gusset meets the column, and the single plate that carries the beam’s shear and axial force into the column flange.
このページは最初から最後まで 1 つの実際の例で動作します. A W18x50 beam frames into the flange of a W14x90 column, with a gusset above and below the beam. Each gusset takes a 2L5x5x1/2 brace at 45° that carries 62 kip in tension or compression (LRFD). The beam also carries 38 kip of shear and a 132 kip transfer force. All bolts are 1 in A490 slip-critical. デザインはAISCへ 360-16, the AISC Manual 15th Edition and AISC Design Guide 29. すべての方程式は数値とともに書き出されます, in the same order as the calc sheet that the SkyCiv接続設計 モジュールはこの接続用に生成します.
What is a vertical brace connection?
A vertical brace connection joins a diagonal brace to the corner where a beam meets a column, through a gusset plate attached to both. In a braced frame these connections carry the lateral load down the building. Here there are two corners at the same beam-to-column joint: one gusset sits on top of the beam with a brace rising away from the column, and a second gusset hangs below the beam with a brace running down. Each brace is a pair of 5x5x1/2 angles back to back, one on each face of its gusset.
Each gusset is shop welded to the beam flange and bolted to the column flange through a 3/8 in single plate. The beam is bolted to the column through a 1/2 in single plate welded to the column flange. Because the gusset touches two members, the brace force does not have one obvious path, and the Uniform Force Method decides how much goes where. この例は、次の場所で直接確認できます。 垂直ブレース接続計算機. The beam-to-column part is a 単板接続 carrying both shear and axial force. The brace-to-gusset checks are the same ones used in the 山形ブレース接続計算機 そしてその 膝装具接続計算機.

接続例の立面図. Both gussets are 15 1/2 in square, and each brace line runs through the work point where the beam and column centrelines meet.

The A36 grade on the 3/8 in gusset single plate and the angles is normal for those parts. All three interfaces use slip-critical bolts, which is required here because every interface has oversized or slotted holes (AISC 360-16 J3.2).
ステップ 1: Distribute the brace force with the Uniform Force Method (AISC マニュアル部分 13)
The Uniform Force Method picks gusset dimensions so that the forces at the gusset-to-beam and gusset-to-column interfaces carry no moment, then splits the brace force between them. Whatever horizontal force the gusset puts into the column has to come back out of the beam, so it also changes the axial force in the beam-to-column connection.
どこ [mathin] e_{b} = d_{bm}/2 = 9\,in [mathin], [mathin] e_{c} = d_{c}/2 = 7\,in [mathin], [mathin] \tan\theta = 1 [mathin] そして [mathin] \beta = 7.75\,in [mathin], half the gusset height on the column. The ideal centroid of the gusset-to-beam force follows from the UFM constraint:
[math] \alpha = e_{b} \tan\theta – e_{c} + \beta \tan\theta = (9\,in) \times (1) – (7\,in) + (7.75\,in) \times (1) = 9.75\,in [math]
The actual centroid of the gusset-to-beam weld is [mathin] \bar{\alpha} = 15.5/2 + 0.75 = 8.5\,in [mathin] from the column face: half the gusset length plus the setback. The distance that sets the force split is:
[math] r = \sqrt{\left( \alpha + e_{c} \right)^{2} + \left( \beta + e_{b} \right)^{2}} = \sqrt{\left( (9.75\,in) + (7\,in) \right)^{2} + \left( (7.75\,in) + (9\,in) \right)^{2}} = 23.688\,in [math]
The interface forces, と [mathin] P = 62\,kip [mathin]:
[math] H_{c} = \frac{e_{c}\, P}{r} = \frac{(7\,in) \times (62\,kip)}{(23.688\,in)} = 18.321\,kip [math]
[math] H_{b} = \frac{\alpha\, P}{r} = \frac{(9.75\,in) \times (62\,kip)}{(23.688\,in)} = 25.519\,kip [math]
The vertical force at the beam would be [mathin] e_{b} P / r = 23.556\,kip [mathin]. This report uses Special Case 2 of the method (AISC マニュアル部分 13, 設計ガイド 29 例 5.3) and moves all of it to the gusset-to-column interface as [mathin] \Delta V_{b} = 23.556\,kip [mathin]. That way the beam-to-column connection does not have to carry the brace’s vertical force, at the cost of a moment on the gusset-to-beam interface:
[math] V_{c} = \frac{\beta\, P}{r} + \Delta V_{b} = \frac{(7.75\,in) \times (62\,kip)}{(23.688\,in)} + (23.556\,kip) = 43.841\,kip [math]
[math] V_{b} = \frac{e_{b}\, P}{r} – \Delta V_{b} = \frac{(9\,in) \times (62\,kip)}{(23.688\,in)} – (23.556\,kip) = 0\,kip [math]
[math] M_{b} = V_{b} \left| \alpha – \bar{\alpha} \right| + \Delta V_{b} \left| \alpha \right| = (0\,kip) \times \left| (9.75\,in) – (8.5\,in) \right| + (23.556\,kip) \times \left| (9.75\,in) \right| = 19.139\,kip{\cdot}ft [math]
The beam-to-column connection then carries the beam’s own forces plus the horizontal force each gusset sends straight to the column, which the beam has to bring back:
[math] C_{total} = T_{total} = C_{u} + \max\left( H_{c,upper},\, H_{c,lower} \right) = (132\,kip) + (18.321\,kip) = 150.32\,kip [math]
[math] V_{total} = V_{u} + V_{b,upper} + V_{b,lower} = (38\,kip) + (0\,kip) + (0\,kip) = 38\,kip [math]
Because the brace is at 45° and [mathin] e_{b} > e_{c} [mathin], the beam interface takes the larger share of the horizontal force, 25.519 のキップ 43.84 kip brace component.
ステップ 2: ブレースボルトでのディテール制限 (AISC 360-16 J3.3, J3.4, J3.5)
ボルトのレイアウトは構築可能であり、強度方程式の背後にある仮定と一致する必要があります。. ボルトが近すぎると穴の間が裂ける, 近すぎるエッジは引き裂かれます.

ブレース接続の詳細. Three bolts per brace at 3 に, oversized holes in the gusset and standard holes in the angles.
のために 1 ボルトの最小間隔は [mathin] 2\tfrac{2}{3} d_{b} = 2.667\,in [mathin] (J3.3) 最小エッジ距離は 1.25 に (表 J3.4). ガセットには特大の穴があります, したがって、テーブル J3.5 の増分は 1/8 in は最小終了距離を に引き上げます 1.375 に.

| ブレースの最小水平エッジ距離 | 1.250 | 2.000 | 0.625 | 合格 |
The horizontal edge distance on the angle is the 5 in leg less the 3 ゲージ内, 2 に. 支配的な行は、特大の穴の増分を伴うガセットの端の距離です。:

DCR = 0.917 < 1.0, わかった
ステップ 3: Slip resistance of the brace bolts (AISC 360-16 J3.8)
ガセットには特大の穴があります, どのAISC 360-16 J3.2 は滑りが重要なジョイントでのみ許可されます. The bolts are pretensioned, and friction between the angles and the gusset carries the brace force. チェックは、ジョイントが係数負荷の下で滑らないかどうかです。.
どこ [mathin] \phi = 0.85 [mathin] 特大穴用, [mathin] \mu = 0.3 [mathin] for a Class A surface, [mathin] D_{u} = 1.13 [mathin], [mathin] h_{f} = 1 [mathin] 充填剤がないので, [mathin] T_{b} = 64\,kip [mathin] のために 1 A490ボルトで (表 J3.1), [mathin] N_{s} = 2 [mathin] slip planes because the gusset sits between the two angles, [mathin] n_{r} = 3 [mathin] そして [mathin] n_{c} = 1 [mathin]:
[math] \phi R_{n} = \phi\, \mu\, D_{u}\, h_{f}\, T_{b}\, N_{s}\, n_{r}\, n_{c} [math]
[math] \phi R_{n} = (0.85) \times (0.3) \times (1.13) \times (1) \times (64\,kip) \times (2) \times (3) \times (1) [math]
[math] \phi R_{n} = 110.65\,kip [math]
DCR = 62 キップ / 110.65 キップ = 0.560 < 1.0, わかった
The double angle doubles the slip strength for free: each bolt clamps two faying surfaces.
ステップ 4: Bolt bearing and tear-out on the gusset (AISC 360-16 J3.10)
スリップクリティカルなボルトのベアリングをチェックする必要がある, because if the joint slips the bolts bear on the sides of their holes. The bolt nearest the gusset’s edge has the least material in front of it.
ガゼット穴は大きめです, [mathin] d_{h} = 1.25\,in [mathin]. Clear distances for the end bolt and between bolts:
[math] l_{c1} = L_{ev} – \frac{d_{h}}{2} = (1.5\,in) – \frac{(1.25\,in)}{2} = 0.875\,in [math]
[math] l_{c2} = s_{r} – d_{h} = (3\,in) – (1.25\,in) = 1.75\,in [math]

[math] \phi R_{n} = 127.97\,kip [math]
DCR = 62 キップ / 127.97 キップ = 0.484 < 1.0, わかった
Tear-out governs every bolt, because the oversized hole cuts into the clear distance.
ステップ 5: ボルトベアリングとブレースの破れ (AISC 360-16 J3.10)
The same check applies to the angles. Both angle legs bear on the bolts, so the bearing thickness is twice the leg, [mathin] 2 t_{l,br} = 1\,in [mathin].
The angles have standard holes, [mathin] d_{h} = 1.125\,in [mathin]:
[math] l_{c1} = (1.5\,in) – \frac{(1.125\,in)}{2} = 0.9375\,in \qquad l_{c2} = (3\,in) – (1.125\,in) = 1.875\,in [math]
と [mathin] F_{u,br} = 58\,ksi [mathin]:
[math] \phi R_{n} = \phi \left[ \min\left(1.2\, l_{c1},\, 2.4\, d_{b}\right) 2 t_{l,br} F_{u,br}\, n_{c} + \min\left(1.2\, l_{c2},\, 2.4\, d_{b}\right) 2 t_{l,br} F_{u,br}\, n_{c} \left( n_{r} – 1 \right) \right] [math]
[math] \phi R_{n} = (0.75) \times \left[ \min\left(1.2 \times (0.9375\,in),\, 2.4 \times (1\,in)\right) \times (1\,in) \times (58\,ksi) \times (1) + \min\left(1.2 \times (1.875\,in),\, 2.4 \times (1\,in)\right) \times (1\,in) \times (58\,ksi) \times (1) \times ((3) – 1) \right] [math]
[math] \phi R_{n} = 244.69\,kip [math]
DCR = 62 キップ / 244.69 キップ = 0.253 < 1.0, わかった
ステップ 6: Block shear of the gusset at the brace (AISC 360-16 J4.3)
A block of the gusset can tear out around the bolts: shear along the bolt line and tension across to the gusset’s edge. With one bolt line, this is an L-shaped block.
どこ [mathin] L_{eh,gp} = 2\,in [mathin] is the edge distance on the gusset beside the bolt line, [mathin] L_{br,gp} = 9\,in [mathin] is the length of brace on the gusset, and each hole adds 1/16 in for damage (B4.3):
[math] A_{nt} = t_{gp} \left[ (n_{c}-1)\, s_{c} + L_{eh,gp} – (n_{c} – 0.5) \left( d_{h} + 0.0625\,in \right) \right] = (0.5\,in) \times \left[ 0 + (2\,in) – ((1) – 0.5) \times ((1.25\,in) + (0.0625\,in)) \right] = 0.67188\,in^{2} [math]

[math] A_{nv} = t_{gp} \left[ L_{br,gp} – L_{ev} – (n_{r} – 0.5)\left( d_{h} + 0.0625\,in \right) \right] = (0.5\,in) \times \left[ (9\,in) – (1.5\,in) – ((3) – 0.5) \times ((1.25\,in) + (0.0625\,in)) \right] = 2.1094\,in^{2} [math]
と [mathin] U_{bs} = 1 [mathin] そして [mathin] \phi = 0.75 [mathin]:
[math] \phi R_{n} = \phi \left( 0.6\, F_{u} A_{nv} + U_{bs} F_{u} A_{nt} \le 0.6\, F_{y} A_{gv} + U_{bs} F_{u} A_{nt} \right) [math]

DCR = 62 キップ / 94.453 キップ = 0.656 < 1.0, わかった
This is the highest strength check on the brace side. Shear rupture on the net section governs over shear yielding.
ステップ 7: ブレースのせん断をブロック (AISC 360-16 J4.3)
The same tear-out can happen in the angle legs. Both angles act together, それで厚さは [mathin] 2 t_{l,br} = 1\,in [mathin], with standard holes [mathin] d_{h} = 1.125\,in [mathin] そしてその 2 in leg edge [mathin] L_{eh,br} [mathin]:

ステップ 8: Gusset in tension on the Whitmore section (AISC 360-16 J4.1)
The brace force spreads into the gusset at about 30° on each side of the bolt line. The Whitmore section is the width of that spread at the last bolt, and the gusset has to yield and rupture on it no earlier than the brace force.
と [mathin] L_{br} = (n_{r}-1) s_{r} = 6\,in [mathin] そして [mathin] W_{br} = 0 [mathin] for a single bolt line (AISC Manual Fig. 9-1):
[math] W = 2\, L_{br} \tan 30^{\circ} + W_{br} = 2 \times (6\,in) \times \tan 30^{\circ} + 0 = 6.9282\,in [math]

ステップ 9: せん断遅れを伴う引張破断を防ぐ (AISC 360-16 D3, J4.1)
Only one leg of each angle is bolted, so the stress in the outstanding legs has to lag in through the connected legs. The shear lag factor U reduces the net area to account for this.

Buckling cuts the gusset’s compression strength to about two thirds of its yield strength in tension. あ 9 in unbraced length is about the most a 1/2 in gusset can take at this load.
ステップ 11: Minimum fillet weld size at the beam (AISC 360-16 J2.2b)

ステップ 12: Gusset-to-beam weld (AISC 360-16 J2.4, AISC 設計ガイド 29)
The weld carries the horizontal force [mathin] H_{b} [mathin] along its length, plus the moment [mathin] M_{b} [mathin] ステップから 1 as a varying normal force. The check uses the peak force per inch at the most loaded end.
溶接サイズの母材制限 (AISC マニュアル Eq. 9-2)
The weld cannot be stronger than the metal it is fused to. The gusset is welded on both faces, so it gets half its thickness per weld:
[math] D_{max} = \frac{t_{f,bm} F_{u,bm} \le 0.5\, t_{gp} F_{u,gp}}{3.09\,kip/in \times 1} = \frac{(0.57\,in) \times (65\,ksi) \le (0.25\,in) \times (65\,ksi)}{(3.09\,kip/in) \times (1)} = 5.2589 [math]
有効溶接長さ
[math] L_{w} = 2 \left[ L_{gp} – 2 W \right] = 2 \times \left[ (15.5\,in) – 2 \times (0.1875\,in) \right] = 30.25\,in [math]
Forces on the weld
The moment becomes a normal force using the plastic section of two weld lines, [mathin] L_{w}^{2}/8 [mathin]. と [mathin] V_{b} = 0 [mathin]:
[math] V_{b,total} = \frac{8\, M_{b}}{L_{w}} + V_{b} = \frac{8 \times (19.139\,kip{\cdot}ft)}{(30.25\,in)} + (0\,kip) = 60.74\,kip [math]
[math] R = \sqrt{V_{b,total}^{2} + H_{b}^{2}} = \sqrt{(60.74\,kip)^{2} + (25.519\,kip)^{2}} = 65.883\,kip \qquad \theta = \tan^{-1}\left| \frac{60.74}{25.519} \right| = 67.211^{\circ} [math]
At the other end of the weld the normal force is [mathin] |V_{b} – 8 M_{b}/L_{w}| = 60.74\,kip [mathin], それで [mathin] R_{min} = 65.883\,kip [mathin] too. AISC マニュアル部分 13 applies a 1.25 weld ductility factor to the average of the two ends:
[math] R_{w} = \max\left( R,\, 1.25\, \frac{R + R_{min}}{2} \right) = \max\left( (65.883\,kip),\, 1.25 \times \frac{(65.883\,kip) + (65.883\,kip)}{2} \right) = 82.354\,kip [math]
なぜなら [mathin] V_{b} = 0 [mathin], the moment loads both ends equally (one in tension, one in compression), そして [mathin] R_{w} [mathin] is simply [mathin] 1.25 R [mathin].

ステップ 14: Gusset in tension yielding along the beam (AISC 360-16 J4.1)
The moment puts one end of the gusset’s welded edge in tension. Following Design Guide 29 例 5.3, the normal force and the moment are added as stresses on the edge and turned back into an equivalent force over the full 15.5 長さで:
[math] N_{e} = \left| V_{b} \right| + \frac{4 \left| M_{b} \right|}{L_{gp}} = (0\,kip) + \frac{4 \times (19.139\,kip{\cdot}ft)}{(15.5\,in)} = 59.27\,kip [math]
[math] \phi R_{n} = \phi\, F_{y,gp}\, t_{gp}\, L_{gp} = (0.9) \times (50\,ksi) \times (0.5\,in) \times (15.5\,in) = 348.75\,kip [math]

ステップ 15: Beam web under the gusset (AISC 360-16 J10.3, J10.2)
The compression half of the gusset moment pushes on the beam flange next to the column, so the beam web there can cripple or yield locally. The gusset sits at the end of the beam, so the near-end forms of the equations apply.
The report applies half the peak normal force, [mathin] 60.74/2 = 30.37\,kip [mathin], over half the gusset length, [mathin] l_{b} = 7.75\,in [mathin]. That models the compression side of the moment couple. と [mathin] \phi = 0.75 [mathin], [mathin] l_{b}/d = 0.43 > 0.2 [mathin] そして [mathin] Q_{f} = 1 [mathin]:

[math] \phi R_{n,wlc} = (0.75) \times 0.4 \times (0.355\,in)^{2} \times \left[ 1 + \left( \frac{4 \times (7.75\,in)}{(18\,in)} – 0.2 \right) \times \left( \frac{(0.355\,in)}{(0.57\,in)} \right)^{1.5} \right] \times \sqrt{\frac{(29000\,ksi) \times (50\,ksi) \times (0.57\,in)}{(0.355\,in)}} \times (1) = 100.85\,kip [math]
Web local yielding near the member end (Eq. J10-3), と [mathin] \phi = 1 [mathin]:
[math] \phi R_{n,wly} = \phi\, F_{y}\, t_{w} \left( 2.5\, k_{des} + l_{b} \right) = (1) \times (50\,ksi) \times (0.355\,in) \times \left( 2.5 \times (0.972\,in) + (7.75\,in) \right) = 180.69\,kip [math]
DCR = 30.37 キップ / 100.85 キップ = 0.301 < 1.0, わかった
The report labels the crippling equation J10-4, but the numbers it substitutes are the near-end form with 0.4 そして (4lb/d − 0.2), which is Eq. J10-5b. That is the right form for a force this close to the beam end.
ステップ 16: Detailing limits of the gusset single plate (AISC 360-16 J3.3, J3.4, J3.5)
The gusset bolts to a 3/8 in plate welded to the column flange. プレートには水平方向の短いスロットがあります, which add 1/8 in to the minimum edge distance across the slot (表 J3.5).

Single plate detail. The gusset plates take four bolts in one line, and the beam plate takes two lines of five. All three plates have horizontal short slots.

| Minimum plate depth | 7.750 | 12.000 | 0.646 | 合格 |
The minimum plate depth is half the 15.5 in gusset edge on the column, so the plate supports at least half the gusset.

ステップ 17: Gusset-to-column bolt group (AISC 360-16 J3.8, AISC マニュアル部分 7)
The four bolts carry [mathin] V_{c} [mathin] そして [mathin] H_{c} [mathin] 一緒, at an eccentricity from the weld line. The instantaneous center of rotation method gives the coefficient C: the number of bolts the eccentric group is worth.
The resultant and its angle from vertical:
[math] R = \sqrt{V_{c}^{2} + H_{c}^{2}} = \sqrt{(43.841\,kip)^{2} + (18.321\,kip)^{2}} = 47.515\,kip \qquad \theta = \tan^{-1}\left( \frac{18.321}{43.841} \right) = 22.681^{\circ} [math]
The eccentricity is the distance from the weld to the bolt line, [mathin] e = 2.25\,in [mathin]. For bolts at (0, 0), (0, 3), (0, 6) そして (0, 9), the iteration puts the instantaneous center at [mathin] x_{ic} = -4.0517\,in [mathin], [mathin] y_{ic} = 6.7655\,in [mathin], それは与える [mathin] C = 3.14 [mathin] and the moment coefficient [mathin] C’ = 11.256\,in [mathin]. Each bolt is slip-critical, と [mathin] N_{s} = 1 [mathin]:
[math] \phi R_{n} = \phi\, \mu\, D_{u}\, h_{f}\, T_{b}\, N_{s}\, C = (0.85) \times (0.3) \times (1.13) \times (1) \times (64\,kip) \times (1) \times (3.14) = 57.907\,kip [math]
DCR = 47.515 キップ / 57.907 キップ = 0.821 < 1.0, わかった
The slots are horizontal and the resultant leans 22.7° toward them, so the report keeps φ = 0.85 for slotted holes. Bolt slip is the highest check on the gusset side.
ステップ 18: Ductility of the gusset single plate (AISC マニュアル部分 10)
A single plate has to yield in flexure before the bolts shear off, so the plate cannot be too thick. AISC マニュアル部分 10 (Eq. 10-3 そして 10-4) gives the maximum thickness from the moment the bolt group can carry.

ステップ 19: Bolt bearing on the gusset single plate (AISC 360-16 J3.10)

The tension area uses the plate’s 1.3125 in slot length rather than the gusset’s 1.125 in standard hole. That removes a little more area than the gusset actually loses, so the result is slightly conservative.

When the beam is pulled away from the column, a block of the web can tear out around the bolts: tension between the top and bottom rows, and shear along the top and bottom rows to the end of the beam. This is a C (or U) パターン.

The connection passes every check of this vertical brace connection design. The beam-to-column bolt group governs at 0.974, なぜなら、 132 kip transfer force plus the 18.321 kip that each gusset sends to the column all pass through those ten bolts. The beam web in axial block shear is next at 0.826. On the brace side, the gusset single plate bolts are highest at 0.821. The two ratios of 1.000 are size rules: the gusset weld is exactly the Table J2.4 minimum, and the beam plate weld is exactly 5/8 板厚の.
チェックが失敗した場合に何を変更するか
- Beam-to-column bolt group: ボルト列を追加, use a Class B surface (μ = 0.5 の代わりに 0.3), or use standard holes in the plate where the erection tolerance allows, which raises φ to 1.00.
- Beam web block shear: add bolt rows to lengthen the tension plane, or increase the edge distance at the beam end. A web doubler is the last resort.
- Gusset-to-column bolts: add a bolt row or lengthen the gusset on the column, which increases β and also lowers the share of force that goes to the column.
- Gusset-to-beam weld: lengthen the gusset along the beam, or use the general UFM case so that the beam-to-column connection carries Vb and the gusset weld loses most of its moment.
- Gusset buckling: use a thicker gusset or move the brace closer to the work point to shorten the 9 in unbraced length.
- Block shear and bearing at the brace: ボルト列を追加, increase the end distance, またはガセットの標準の穴を使用します.
- Single plate checks: a thicker plate helps bearing, ブロックせん断, shear and tension, but it has to stay under the ductility limit and the weld has to grow to 5/8 of its thickness.
- コラムウェブ: add a pair of stiffeners opposite the beam single plate.
よくある質問
What is the Uniform Force Method?
The Uniform Force Method (AISC マニュアル部分 13) splits a brace force between the gusset-to-beam and gusset-to-column interfaces so that neither interface carries a moment. It does this by choosing the gusset’s centroids α and β to satisfy α − β tan θ = eb tan θ − ec. The beam-to-column connection then carries whatever horizontal force goes to the column, plus any vertical force at the beam interface.
Why is the vertical force at the beam interface zero?
The report uses Special Case 2 of the Uniform Force Method. It moves the whole vertical force the beam interface would get, 23.556 キップ, to the gusset-to-column interface. That keeps the brace’s vertical force out of the beam-to-column connection. The cost is a moment on the gusset-to-beam interface of 23.556 kip × 9.75 =で 19.139 キップフィート, which the weld and the gusset edge are checked for in Steps 12 に 15.
Why does the beam-to-column connection carry 150.32 キップ?
The beam has its own 132 kip transfer force. その上に, each gusset sends Hc = 18.321 kip of horizontal force directly into the column, and the beam has to deliver it back through the beam-to-column connection. The two gussets are on opposite sides of the beam with the same force, so the report adds the larger one, 18.321 キップ, 与える 150.32 キップ.
Why are all the bolts slip-critical?
The gusset has oversized holes at the brace, and both single plates have horizontal short slots. Those holes give the erector room to fit up a braced bay, but AISC 360-16 J3.2 allows them only in slip-critical joints, or for slots, only when the load is perpendicular to the slot. Brace forces also reverse, so a joint that does not slip back and forth performs better.
Why does the beam single plate use Ubs = 0.5 in block shear?
With two bolt lines, the line nearer the edge carries more of the load, so the tension stress on the block is not uniform. AISC 360-16 Commentary to J4.3 recommends Ubs = 0.5 for that case, which is what the report uses for the vertical block. In the axial direction the tension plane runs along a full bolt line, the stress is uniform, and Ubs = 1.
Why do the two single plates use different interaction equations?
Both follow AISC 360-16 H1. When the axial ratio is below 0.2, Eq. H1-1b halves the axial term. When it is 0.2 or more, Eq. H1-1a takes the axial term in full and multiplies the flexure term by 8/9. The gusset single plate has an axial ratio of 0.155, so it uses H1-1b. The beam single plate has 0.68, so it uses H1-1a. In both cases the squared shear ratio is added.
LRFD ではなく AISC ASD の場合、これはどう変わるでしょうか?
限界状態と公称強度は同じです. With AISC ASD you compare service-level forces against the nominal strength divided by a safety factor. の抵抗係数 0.75 の安全率になります 2.00, 0.90 になる 1.67, and slip with oversized or slotted holes goes from 0.85 に 1.76. The Uniform Force Method distribution is identical, scaled to the ASD brace force.
