About this detail

A structural detail for a typical buckling-restrained braced frame connection at a column-beam intersection. The assembly includes a vertical steel column, a horizontal steel beam, a diagonal brace, and an intersecting work point located at the frame centerlines. A three-quarter-inch thick stiffener plate is welded to each side of the beam web with five-sixteenth-inch fillet welds on three sides. A half-inch thick cap plate, or a cap plate equal to the beam flange thickness whichever is greater, caps the column. Gusset plate sizing, welding, and brace specifications are provided per the buckling-restrained brace design drawings.
