Check bolt bearing, shear capacity, and weld size.
Account for eccentricities if applicable.
Shear Connection Beam-to-beam Design Considerations:
Purpose: Transfers axial forces in bracing systems that resist lateral loads (wind, seismic).
Typical Use: Diagonal bracing in frames, X- or K-braced systems.
Bracing Connection
May be in tension, compression, or both.
Commonly gusset plates with bolted or welded connections.
