CONNECTIONS

CONNECTIONS 3.103

These forces, shown in Fig. 3.57, are added algebraically to those of the concentric uniform force
method acting at the three connection interfaces. Note that for connections to column webs, η= 1,
α
H′= 0, and V′= M/ , unless the gusset-to-column web and beam-to-column web connections pos-
itively engage the column flanges. Figure 3.57 shows the specified WP at the corner of the gusset.
This is a special case of the location shown in Fig. 3.56.
