Abstract: Despite the large database of test results for tension and shear block failure in gusset plates, the exact progression of the failure mechanism is not clear. Although current design equations predict the capacity of gusset plates fairly well, it is important for a design equation to not only predict the capacity reliably but also reflect the failure mode accurately. Recent experimental and numerical research has indicated that current design equations do not always predict the failure behaviour accurately. A finite element model was therefore developed to predict the sequence of events that leads to the tear-out of a block of material from a bolted gusset plate ...
