The behavior and design of gusset plate connections are reviewed and summarized. The
paper first reviews the existing design methods for proportioning gusset plates under …

This report summarizes a numerical investigation of the cyclic behaviour of gusset plate
connections conducted using the finite element program ABAQUS. This numerical …

A total of thirteen full-scale tests were conducted to investigate the compressive behavior
and strength of gusset plate connections. The test parameters included gusset plate …

The cyclic behavior of sucel gusset plates has been examined by an experimental
investigation of full-scale gusset plate connections of a diagonal bracing member at the joint …

To investigate the elastic compressive behavior of gusset plate connections, eight tests are
performed with gusset plate thickness, gusset plate size, and out-of-plane restraint of the …

Gusset plate connections are commonly used in bridge trusses and braced steel frames to
transfer forces from one structural member to another. Due to the complexity of these …

The paper presents an evaluation of the behavior and strength of gusset plates on the basis
of an experimental investigation of full-scale diagonal bracing connections. Sugh …

Gusset plate connections are commonly used in bridge trusses and braced steel frames to
transfer forces from one structural member to another. Due to the complexity of these …

To improve braced frame performance, the connection strength, stiffness, and ductility must
be directly considered in the frame design. The resistance of the connection must be …

Current design practices use a strength-based design approach to design gusset plate
connections in special concentrically braced frames (SCBFs), in which the expected tensile …
