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.
