Thanks for the replies. Through plate is bolted to the gussets and beam, welded to the HSS column. Gusset is welded to the beam.

Does this connection require checking the compressive resistance of the beam web acting as column? We are using the Uniform Force Method to calculate the interface forces. If the load exceeds the capacity, where would one install a pair of stiffeners (middle of the beam/gusset interface?)...

Thank you all for the comments.

When do we need to brace the tension flange? Any help would be much appreciated. I found this picture on CSSBI website and can't find a reason for bracing the tension flange. It's not a cantilever or Gerber system. Could it be the wind suction force (extreme wind zone) that reverses the...

Thanks a lot, jayrod12! I appreciate your time. It is also mentioned in the WDM. I missed that critical piece of information.

I am trying to calculate the deflection of D Fir-L decking using the specified concentrated load (NBCC 2010 4.1.5.9) for a serviceability limit of span/240. I tried using equation based on plate theory (Timoshenko) to calculate the deflection but my calculated span is nowhere near the ones...
