2. Gusset plate - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gusset_plate

   Gusset plates are used to connect beams and columns together or to connect truss members. They can be either the only way of connecting the beam and columns or they can be used with bolts and welds. Gusset plates are therefore used in most metal weight-bearing structures, but the material and size of the gusset plate varies based on the structure.

3. Truss connector plate - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truss_connector_plate

   A truss connector plate, or gang plate, is a kind of tie. Truss plates are light gauge metal plates used to connect prefabricated light frame wood trusses. They are produced by punching light gauge galvanized steel to create teeth on one side. The teeth are embedded in and hold the wooden frame components to the plate and each other.

4. Tension member - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tension_member

   The stress given by this equation is exact, knowing that the cross section is not adjacent to the point of application of the load nor having holes for bolts or other discontinuities. For example, given an 8 x 11.5 plate that is used as a tension member (section a-a) and is connected to a gusset plate with two 7/8-inch-diameter bolts (section b-b):

5. John Calvin Jureit - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Calvin_Jureit

   John Calvin Jureit (July 24, 1918 – September 9, 2005) was a civil engineer and the inventor of the Gang Nail connector plate, used in building construction specifically for the joining of timber truss joints of roof, floor trusses and prefabricated wall panels. This invention has been widely credited for the boom in affordable housing ...

6. Truss - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truss

   A truss can be thought of as a beam where the web consists of a series of separate members instead of a continuous plate. In the truss, the lower horizontal member (the bottom chord) and the upper horizontal member (the top chord) carry tension and compression, fulfilling the same function as the flanges of an I-beam.

7. Timber framing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timber_framing

   [citation needed] Modern complex structures and timber trusses often incorporate steel joinery such as gusset plates, for both structural and architectural purposes. Recently, it has become common practice to enclose the timber structure entirely in manufactured panels such as structural insulated panels (SIPs). Although the timbers can only be ...

9. Structural engineering - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_engineering

   Most trusses use gusset plates to connect intersecting elements. Gusset plates are relatively flexible and unable to transfer bending moments. The connection is usually arranged so that the lines of force in the members are coincident at the joint thus allowing the truss members to act in pure tension or compression.
