Bracing Connection

This document provides a design calculation for a bracing connection between four structural members (Members 1-4) and a gusset plate. It includes layout drawings of the connection, required member strengths, material properties, and calculations to check the capacity of each member and connection. Key checks shown include: tension and shear capacity of welds, tension yielding and rupture of braces, tension yielding of Whitmore sections, block shear rupture capacity of the gusset plate, and buckling of the gusset plate. Forces in the gusset plate connecting it to the column are also calculated.
