A bolted connection for a buckling-restrained brace indicates an assumed Whitmore section with a minimum width of thirteen inches that must be confirmed with the brace manufacturer. If the bolted connection results in a Whitmore width of less than thirteen inches, the gusset plates must be redesigned accordingly.
ASSUMED WHITMORE SECTION, CONFIRM WITH BRB MFR 13" MIN NOTE: WHERE BRB BOLTED CONNECTION HAS A WHITMORE WIDTH LESS THAN 13", REDESIGN GUSSET PLATES ACCORDINGLY AT NO ADDITIONAL COST TO GOVERNMENT AND WITH NO INCREASE IN CONTRACT TIME.
