About this detail

A buckling restrained brace connection occurs at the intersection of a steel frame column and beam. A gusset plate connects to the frame column and beam, with its size and welds designed by the brace manufacturer. A shear tab with multiple bolts secures the frame beam to the column web. Continuity plates are provided at the top and bottom flange locations, and one-half inch minimum stiffener plates are installed on both sides to align with the edge of the gusset plate. Free edge stiffeners are added where required by the brace manufacturer, and complete joint penetration welds on the top and bottom flanges are designated as demand critical per AWS D1.1.
