About this detail

A buckling restrained brace top joint bolted connection oriented to the strong axis interfaces a built-up beam stub with a beam and cross-laminated timber panel. The assembly features top and bottom flange plates bolted with a three-inch spacing and two-inch edge distance, supplemented by a web plate and a shim plate to align the beam web centerline with the gusset plate and column centerline. A shim plate of one-sixteenth inch minimum thickness is provided as required, and the built-up beam stub flange is slotted to clear the gusset plate and its weld where it occurs. Welds are specified on three sides typically around plate connections, with the gusset plate sized and coordinated per the buckling restrained brace manufacturer requirements.
