About this detail

A typical midspan brace connection for steel framing with buckling-restrained braces located below the beam. A gusset plate with thickness matching the buckling-restrained brace schedule connects the braces to the beam web and flanges. Stiffener plates, one-half inch thick minimum, are welded to each side of the beam web unless replaced with a full-depth shear plate at the beam connection. All fillet welds are specified at five-sixteenths inch minimum unless noted otherwise. Brace connections, gusset sizes, geometry, welds, and stiffeners must be coordinated per the buckling-restrained brace provider.
