A gusset plate connects a buckling-restrained brace to a structural steel column and a base plate. The gusset plate is welded to the column flange and the base plate, with specific weld sizes and lengths designated for fabrication. A working point is located at the top of the base plate to establish the layout geometry for the brace and gusset assembly. Additional details govern the specific layout procedure for the buckling-restrained brace and gusset plate connection.
