About this detail

A buckling restrained brace connects to a steel column and beam intersection via a gusset plate, with the gusset plate and its associated welds designed by the brace manufacturer. A doubler plate is provided at the frame column web as required by the brace manufacturer, and continuity plates are installed within the column matching the beam flanges with demand critical welds. Stiffening plates of one-half inch minimum thickness are placed on both sides to align with the edge of the gusset plate at the beam and column connection. Complete joint penetration welds are specified at the top and bottom flanges and web of the beam connection, and five-sixteenth inch fillet welds are applied on three sides at the erection plate.
