About this detail

A structural steel connection joins a buckling-restrained brace to a column and beam assembly using a gusset plate welded to the column centerline. Stiffener plates matching the beam flange thickness plus one-quarter inch are welded to each side of the web, backed by web doubler plates at the column web. The gusset-to-stiffener plate welds transfer a load equal to twice the axial yield strength of each stiffener plate. A complete joint penetration weld secures the connection, and typical continuity plate clips are detailed with a one-inch radius.
