About this detail

A buckling-restrained brace frames into a steel column and beam intersection. A gusset plate and its connection are provided by the brace supplier, with the protected zone encompassing the gusset plate and brace steel core. The steel beam connects to the steel column via a shear plate with three seven-eighths-inch diameter erection bolts, where the plate thickness equals the beam web thickness plus one-eighth inch. Stiffener plates are placed near side and far side, with a thickness equal to the greater beam flange thickness plus one-eighth inch. Additional web stiffeners are included as required, with the number, size, and location determined by the brace supplier. Complete joint penetration welds secure the top and bottom flanges, and five-sixteenth-inch fillet welds are applied typically.
