A buckling-restrained braced frame beam frames into a structural steel column with a cap plate matching the thickest beam flange thickness plus one-eighth inch, with a one-half inch minimum thickness. A shear plate connects the beam web with welds and fasteners sized per the typical non-frame beam connection schedule and details. Complete joint penetration welds are specified typically, with three-eighths inch welds at the cap plate to column web and five-sixteenths inch welds at the column flanges. Continuity plates and column web doubler plates are installed where required per schedule on sheet S5.4.2.
