the gusset-to-column web and beam-to-column web connections posi-

Example. Consider the connection of Sec. 2.2.1.4 as shown in Fig. 2.8, but con-
sider that the brace line of action passes through the corner of the gusset rather
than to the gravity axis intersection of the beam and the column. Using the data
