Gussets and cantilever bending

[QUOTE="Baluncore, post: 6857045, member: 447632"] Where two narrow members are joined at right angles, the size and the distance between the pairs of bolts that handle the moment is limited. Using bigger bolts would reduce the section of the members, and so weakens the structure. It is necessary to use smaller bolts, with greater separation, on the neutral axis of the members to be joined. There are two simple ways to maintain the strength, while handling the moment. 1. Use a diagonal or asymmetric triangle with three bolts. That joint does not keep members co-planar, so is uneven, and must be deformed and stressed during assembly. 2. Use a symmetric gusset with four bolts. That makes a better flat base, while keeping the structural members co-planar. [/QUOTE]
