About this detail

A CoreBrace buckling-restrained brace frames into a steel column and steel beam at the weak axis for a typical brace top connection. A gusset plate attaches to the column and beam with five-sixteenth-inch fillet welds on three sides top and bottom, complemented by stiffener plates on near side and far side as required by the engineer of record or CoreBrace. A gusset support plate with a minimum thickness of one-half inch is provided below, noting that the gusset support plate and gusset edge stiffener may be built as a single plate where both are required, with the more stringent requirement governing. The work point is located at the center of the column and one-half nominal beam depth from the top. Roof deck bears above the steel beam, and beam-to-column connections are detailed separately per plan.
