Buckling restrained brace connections to a wide-flange beam and column comprise Grade 50 gusset plates welded to the structural members with five-sixteenth-inch fillet welds on three sides typically. One-half-inch stiffener plates and continuity plates are provided near side and far side where indicated. Connections include bolted or welded attachments designed by the buckling restrained brace manufacturer. Erection plates and snips are detailed at beam-to-column intersections per the structural requirements.
