About this detail

A braced frame gusset plate and base plate assembly anchors to a reinforced concrete footing. The connection features a two-inch thick base plate secured by twelve one-and-three-quarter-inch diameter high-strength anchor bolts over two-and-a-half inches of maximum non-shrink grout. Transverse stiffener plates matching the column flange thickness are centered between anchor bolts, and a two-by-six-inch shear lug is welded beneath the base plate. Buckling-restrained braces frame into the central gusset plate, with a one-inch asphalt board placed on each side of the gusset. Complete joint penetration and partial joint penetration welds connect the flanges, web, and stiffeners as specified.
