Numerous researches have been developed to understand the structural capacity of steel connections in order to avoid and diminished catastrophic events due to the collapse of bridges.However,the capacity of connections in compression,estimated by buckling instability theories,remains a subject of debate among subject matter experts.The equations provided by North American Standards (2007) seem to produce very conservative results in many typical gusset plate configurations found in existing steel bridges.Three different simplified methods were applied in this project to estimate the buckling capacity of GPC and compare results with the computational analysis.These are: a) Thornton Method (1984),b) Modified Thornton Method (1984),and c)Yoo Method (2006).
