<strong>Design</strong> Example – <strong>Plywood</strong> Gusseted PortalsAssume the materials to be used to be:• Gusset: F11 structural pine 2400 x 1200mm plywood panels;• 2.9mm diameter machine driven nails;• 600 x 63mm <strong>LVL</strong> for columns <strong>and</strong> rafters with a joint strength group JD3Gusseted Joints – Worked Example1. LoadingFIGURE 10.9: Defines the major dimensions of the knee jointAssume the worst loading condition on the gusset to be due to a combination of wind <strong>and</strong> dead loadresulting in:column moment, M* = 144kNm;column axial force = 55kN;column shear force = 20kN2. Sizing of Gusset:NOTE:These member forces are typical for a portal span of 18m, an eaves height of 6m, framesat 6m spacing, a roof slope ∝ = 10° <strong>and</strong> a wind speed of 41m/s.The length (L) of the gusset should be 1.5 to 2 times the depth of the column/rafter.Choose L = 2D, hence for 600mm deep column/rafter members:L = 1200mm131
