About this detail

A buckling-restrained brace connects to a steel base plate anchored atop a reinforced concrete footing. The base plate is seated on a one-inch layer of non-shrink grout within a footing pocket. Anchor rods extend twenty-five inches minimum into the concrete footing, secured with nuts at the bottom. Additional reinforcing bars of size number eight by twenty feet long are placed each way, twelve total, centered on the base plate. Buckling-restrained braces connect to the gusset plate and base assembly via welded connections per the manufacturer requirements.
