About this detail

An inverted V-braced frame connection at a steel column and beam intersection supports a concrete over metal floor deck. A buckling restrained brace frames into a gusset plate welded to the steel column and beam, with specific provisions for foam blockouts around lugs, casings, and gusset plates encased in concrete. The beam-to-column connection utilizes complete joint penetration welds on the top and bottom flanges alongside a shear plate with three seven-eighths inch diameter erection bolts. Additional stiffener plates are required near the brace connection on near and far sides, sized according to beam flange thickness plus one-eighth inch. The protected zones include the gusset plate and the brace steel core.
