Connection Name: L3 X 3 X Design Code: AISC 360-2005 ASD

This document summarizes the design of a gusset plate connection between a W12x53 column and L3x3x1/4 brace. It includes the design code, materials, load combinations, geometric details of the bolted and welded connections, and design checks. The critical strength ratio for the bolted connection between the gusset and brace is 0.46, indicating the connection has adequate capacity based on the applied loads.
