Resistance of the net section of gusset plate

The design ultimate  resistance of the net section is given by :

with

Anet

the net area of the gusset plate

See also chapter "Determination of Anet"

fu

the ultimate tensile strength of the gusset plate

Nu,Rd

the design ultimate resistance

γM2

the partial safety factor for resistance of net section

In case of a double leg connection, the calculated resistance is multiplied by 2.
