About this detail

A buckling restrained brace connects to a wide flange column and beam framing assembly via a gusset plate and pin assembly. The gusset plate features reinforcing plates on both sides with a clevis radius and a line-bored pin hole as specified in the schedule. Stiffener plates one-half inch thick are welded to each side of the beam web and column web typically. A five-sixteenths fillet weld is specified on three sides where indicated, with weld symbols governing the connection details. Notes require approximately equal gaps between the pin plate and adjacent framing at each brace end, and mandate line boring the pin hole after welding the gusset reinforcing plate to the gusset plate.
