What Is Gusset Plate?
A Gusset Plate is a flat, steel plate used to connect and reinforce structural elements, such as beams and columns, in a framework. It distributes loads and stresses between the connected members, enhancing the overall stability and strength of the structure. Gusset plates are commonly used in trusses, bridges, and other structures to ensure proper load transfer and structural integrity.
