Gusset plates can be found on many types of steel structures. A bridge gusset plate generally consists of a heavy-duty plate used at vehicle and pedestrian bridges.

GUSSET: Plywood or metal plate used to strengthen joints of a truss.
GUTTER: Metal or wood trough on a building or home for carrying rainwater to downspouts.
HANGER: Metal strap used to support the ends of joists or piping.
Use Gussets to solidify the walls
Even after the walls are up and screwed together, they still may feel a bit rickety. Use a gusset to secure them.
Gussets work well and can be easily cut from ordinary exterior grade plywood. Make gussets big enough to cover at least eight inches of each frame member at each joint.

These trusses are held together with gusset plates pressed into the wood, and consist of various web chords that are arranged to adequately support the roof system. Typically, these web chords are made from 2x4s.
The center seam they form will need to be reinforced, so in the next step you'll make a gusset. (Fig. 2)
Slip some wood scrap (perhaps from Step 1) under the arch seam.
I cut out eight 5:12 pitch gussets (OSB) that are eight inches high and 36" long and nail two gussets per truss. The two end trusses have bottom chords that are six feet long whereas the two middle trusses have only the attached gussets.
plywood gussets over each joint. Use construction adhesive and nails to secure the gussets. Note that the inner trusses are simple triangles with gussets on both sides.

Trusses are strong because they make use of the most efficient geometric shape we know of - the triangle. Trusses are a series of triangles fastened together with gusset plates.
It is possible to remove them, but ONLY if a substitute engineered solution is put in place. For example, an engineer may design a gusset plate. The engineer may use the floor joists as the bottom of the triangle.
