About this detail

A buckling-restrained brace connection frames into a horizontal W18 beam with a six-inch offset reference. The connection utilizes one-half-inch plates on both the near side and far side of the gusset with a yield strength of fifty ksi, with the gusset plate designed by the brace manufacturer at a thirty-degree angle. One-half-inch stiffener plates are provided on each side of the beam web, accompanied by a one-half-inch full-depth stiffener plate on the far side. A one-half-inch shear plate connects to the brace beam, though it is omitted for clarity in the drawing. Five-sixteenth-inch fillet welds are specified typically throughout the assembly.
