An inner side of the gusset in the vehicle width direction is joined to the outer side of the front side frame in the vehicle width direction and extends from a front end of the front side frame to a first bending point. A tapered part which is inclined toward the front side frame as extending backward from the front end of the gusset is formed in an outer side of the gusset in the vehicle width direction.

Reinforcement arrangement for a pole including abase flange surrounding a bottom of the pole, elongate tubes connected to the base flange and arranged at discrete locations around a circumference of the pole to extend vertically alongside the pole and annular clamping collars arranged around the pole at different vertical locations. The tubes are attached to the clamping collars to thereby form a skeletal framework around the pole which provides increased load-bearing capability to the pole and enables installation of additional antennas on the pole. The base flange is supported above the base plate by gussets which are welded to the base plate and pole. The clamping collars are each formed from several collar segments, each extending partially around the circumference of the pole with adjacent collar segments being attached to one another.

At a beams-to-column joint connection of two beams to a column, in which the joint connection comprises both a gravity load-carrying connection and a moment-resisting connection, there is added a beam-to-beam connection across the column, using two gusset plates, facing each other, on opposite sides of the joint connection. The gusset plates, which are not connected to the column in a moment-resisting connection, connect the two beams, in a tension and moment-resisting connection with respect to each other, by longitudinal welds between the gusset plates and the beams, and provide the capability of withstanding disastrous events, including loss of column support and / or loss of integrity of the beams-to-column joint connection and severe torsional and lateral inelastic deformation due to direct blast pressure. When subjected to such violent conditions and upon loss of column support, and, the likely loss of integrity of the beams-to-column joint connection, the two beams and two gusset plates provide independent beam-to-beam structural continuity, causing the two beams to act as one long beam, or, in other words, a “double-span” condition is created. Such beam-to-beam connection is capable of carrying the tension, torsional and moment loads placed upon the beams, to the ultimate capacity of the beams. Inasmuch as a gusset plate is disposed on each side of the beams-to-column joint connections, substantial shielding of those connections against blast and impact forces is also achieved.

A method of manufacturing a gusseted pinch bag from polypropylene. A sheet or seamless tube of polypropylene is provided. The sheet is preferably comprised of one or more layers of axially and / or biaxially oriented polypropylene. Perforation lines in a pinch pattern are formed in the sheet or tube. Preferably a laser forms a series of small, closely spaced holes in the sheet along the perforation line. The laser heats the plastic surrounding the holes, causing the polypropylene molecules between the holes to lose their orientation. Thus, the polypropylene in the perforation line between the holes is substantially weakened. If a sheet is used, it is folded into a gusseted tube and the edges are sealed together to make a tube. If a seamless tube is used, the tube is gusseted. In either case, a lateral force is then applied to the terminal tube, breaking the perforation line and separating the terminal tube from the sheet. The bottom end of the tube is then sealed, thereby forming a bag.
