About this detail

A buckling-restrained braced frame double-brace connection occurs at a steel column and beam intersection. Diagonal buckling-restrained braces connect via gusset plates sized per the manufacturer, utilizing connection bolts provided by others. Half-inch stiffener plates are welded to both sides of the beam webs using five-sixteenth-inch fillet welds typical. Complete joint penetration welds are specified at the beam-to-column moment connections, featuring typical one-inch by one-inch snips at the gusset corners. A specific note requires removing weld backing, backgouging to sound weld metal, and adding a five-sixteenth-inch minimum fillet weld, except where the gusset plate occurs.
