The size and strength of the gusset plate depends on size and the function of the structure.
12.
The larger the force on the connecting members, the larger the size of the gusset plate.
13.
Gusset plates provide an easy way to retrofit structures that can no longer safely support the applied loads.
14.
"' Gusset plates "'are thick sheets of steel that are used to connect structures.
15.
The lower girder uses the'open'form of the flange, slightly curved and with no gusset plates.
16.
Modern complex structures and timber trusses often incorporate steel joinery such as gusset plates, for both structural and architectural purposes.
17.
Occasionally gusset plates will be made from copper or aluminum, but only with small structures that do not require much support.
18.
Bridges usually require thick sheets of steel for their gusset plates, but trusses sometimes only require small sheets of aluminium for their gusset plate.
19.
Bridges usually require thick sheets of steel for their gusset plates, but trusses sometimes only require small sheets of aluminium for their gusset plate.
20.
These forces must be arrested within the rigging systems and that usually involves extra guy lines, gusset plates, diagonal bracing and other such techniques.
