A diagonal brace connects to a continuous frame beam via a three-quarter-inch thick vertical gusset plate welded to each side. Five-sixteenth-inch fillet welds attach the gusset plate to the beam flange and framing elements, with specific pullback distances and dimensions maintained from the work point. The connection is symmetrical about the centerline, with bolted flange splice details joining the aligned beam segments below.
