A buckling-restrained brace connects at a steel beam and column framing junction within a seismic force-resisting system. A gusset plate is welded to the column and beam, with a cap plate matching the beam flange thickness. A buckling-restrained brace connects via a gusset plate connection per CoreBrace specifications. Two details show alternative conditions at the foundation level, featuring a one-inch foam blockout at each side of the gusset plate or an alternate option with an enlarged gusset and base plate to align the bend line with the top of the slab.
