Popis: Steel gusset plates / gussets are extensively used in metal buildings and play a crucial role in transfer of forces but yet are most neglected in analysis and design. The inelastic behaviour of mild steel gussets is studied assuming that a diagonal member / brace subjected to a tensile force is connected to the gusset. Non-linear finite element analysis of gussets is performed with the help of a finite element software ANSYS by developing a simple model. Four noded plane stress element is used for meshing. The effects of engineering and true stress-strain curves, yield plateau, type of hardening, angle of inclination of the brace and bolt / bolt hole diameter on the in-elastic stress and strain distribution of steel gussets are discussed.
