About this detail

A CoreBrace buckling-restrained brace connects to a steel column and steel beam along the weak axis. A gusset plate with a minimum thickness of one-half inch attaches to the column, reinforced by five-sixteenth-inch fillet welds on three sides top and bottom. Stiffener plates are provided near side and far side as required by the engineer of record or manufacturer. The gusset support plate and gusset edge stiffener may be combined into a single plate where both are required, governed by the more stringent design requirement. The work point is located at the center of the column and one-half of the nominal beam depth from the top.
