What is the minimum thickness of gusset plate?(a) 5mm(b) 8mm(c) 10mm(d) 12mmThis question was posed to me in homework.This intriguing question comes from Lug Angles, Splices & Gusset Plates in chapter Design of Tension Members of Design of Steel Structures

Answer»

Correct answer is (d) 12MM

The EXPLANATION is: The thickness of gusset plate in any case should not be less than 12mm. Structurally a gusset plate is SUBJECTED to SHEAR stresses, direct stresses and BENDING stresses and therefore it should be of ample thickness to resist all these at the critical section.
