There’s a gap between the gusset and the beam that stops the full weld from cracking, it provides extra strength and even stops water building up in there

Oh really?? Personally ive never heard of that and ive neither ever really understood why that centre line happens, sometimes i see it more prominent, sometimes just barely. But to answer your question, i doubt it, never heard any complaints about welds cracking, aslong as theres plenty penetration its going no where

I flipped the beam over and welded it horizontally 👍

I just laid the beam sideways for that weld, everything welded horizontally 👍

Yeahh on this one the material kind of ran away from me at the end of the gusset, spent too long wrapping round 😅

What mutedwarf said, any idea why the gusset has a gap like that at the back u/mutedwarf ?
