Abstract
Due to the fact, that it is very complicated to develop a correct estimation of the stresses in gusset-plates, there is generally no great emphasis on the design process of these elements. On the base of elementary mechanical relations, it is possible to develop a simplified calculation model to determine the relevant forces and moments for the verification of continuouses and slotted gusset-plates taking fatigue effects not into account. These formulae can be used to establish easy to use design diagrams for the critical cross-sections of these elements of a truss-construction.
