W18 brace members frame into a vertical W18 column and horizontal W18 beams using gusset plates with top and bottom complete joint penetration welds. The gusset plates feature a thickness matching the thickest beam flange plus one-quarter inch. Connections are reinforced with typical moment frame details, maintaining a one-inch minimum clearance typical at brace ends. Work points and alignment lines are clearly dimensioned for structural steel framing coordination.
