Part A - LRFR
THE RESISTANCE OF
FASTENERS
The fasteners shall be evaluated to prevent
fasteners shear and plate bearing failures
THE RESISTANCE OF
FASTENERS
The axial load in each connected member
may be distributed equally to all fasteners
THE RESISTANCE OF
GUSSET PLATES
The resistance of a Gusset plate shall be
determined as its least resistance in
shear,, tension including block shear,,
combined flexural and axial loads,, and
compression..
GUSSET PLATES IN
TENSION
Gusset plates subjected to axial tension
shall be investigated for three conditions:
GUSSET PLATES IN
COMPRESSION
May be investigated as idealized columns
GUSSET PLATES IN
COMPRESSION
K may be taken as K = 1 or K = 2, depending on the anticipated
anticipated
buckled shape
