About this detail

A buckling-restrained brace (BRB) connection frames into a wide-flange column and anchors to a concrete pile cap. The assembly features a base plate welded to develop the gusset yield capacity, with three-quarter-inch anchor rods extending into the concrete pile cap and secured with heavy hex nuts and plate washers. Side plates and embed plates are detailed per schedule, with non-shrink grout provided beneath the base plate. A locally depressed bottom of the pile cap maintains the required three-inch concrete cover over the anchor rod assembly, and collector bars (Grade 80) run through the concrete section. Where a brace occurs on the opposite side, the base plate, knife plate, and anchor rod pattern extend from the column flange or web.
