A chevron buckling-restrained brace connects to the underside of a structural steel beam sized per plan using a welded gusset plate. Stiffener plates or full depth connection plates are provided on each side of the beam web typical, with five-sixteenth-inch welds securing the connection. A half-inch plate is welded to the near side and far side of the gusset plate. The work point is located at one-half the nominal depth of the beam.
