A buckling-restrained brace connects at a steel beam and column intersection. The assembly incorporates a brace gusset plate centered on the beam with a ninety-degree orientation, supported by a stiffener plate and continuity plates matching the beam flange thickness with a one-half inch minimum. Double rows of bolts connect the components, supplemented by complete joint penetration welds at double bolting and weld access holes per structural specifications. A doubler plate per schedule is provided at the column web, and the gusset plate is notched for welding per manufacturer requirements with continuous fillets on near and far sides.
