Bracing Connection Calculator (Gusset Plate)

Design a bracing connection - a brace member bolted to a gusset plate welded to the main member - to Eurocode 3 (EN 1993-1-8) with SCI P358. The calculator verifies the gusset plate in tension (gross-section yield and net-section rupture), the Whitmore effective-width section, the brace-to-gusset bolt group (shear and bearing) and the gusset-to-member fillet weld (two runs at their connection angles), each with its utilisation and a clear PASS/FAIL on an interactive 3D model.
