Topic: Gusset Welding

Stupid question: when installing simple plate gussets, do you weld one side or both sides?   I ask because some (read: dash bars) would be damn-near impossible to weld on both sides.

Thanks and forgive my stupidity...

Re: Gusset Welding

An additional question: Continuous weld for gussets or two stitches?

I ask because another sanctioning body wants two separate welds on gussets due to concerns over stress cracking.

Gussets are not required so you can weld them as you think best.

Re: Gusset Welding

I asked The Evil One (John Pagel) this very question last weekend.
He replied that it is OK to only weld gussets on just one side.
Personally, I would weld both sides whenever possible.
