About this detail

A buckling-restrained brace connection frames into a steel column and steel beam junction. The connection incorporates a gusset plate and connection details provided by the buckling-restrained brace supplier, with stiffener plates on the near side and far side sized to the greater beam flange thickness plus one-eighth inch. Where beams are of different depths, the lower stiffener plate slopes from beam flange to beam flange at a maximum one-to-two vertical-to-horizontal slope or includes an additional stiffener plate. The frame beams feature a typical shear plate with three seven-eighth-inch diameter erection bolts, where plate thickness equals the beam web thickness plus one-eighth inch. Complete joint penetration welds connect the top and bottom flanges, alongside five-sixteenth-inch typical welds and weld access holes. Additional web stiffeners are provided as required, with number, size, and location specified by the brace supplier.
