About this detail

A buckling-restrained brace connection is anchored to a reinforced concrete pedestal measuring four feet wide by nine feet six inches long. The assembly features a heavy base plate secured by twelve one-and-three-quarter-inch diameter high-strength anchor bolts over a maximum three-inch layer of non-shrink grout. A gusset plate connects to the base plate and the buckling-restrained brace, with connection sizes determined by the brace manufacturer, flanked by one-inch asphalt boards on each side. The concrete pedestal is reinforced with number six vertical dowels totaling ninety-four bars and number five stirrups spaced at four inches on center, set atop a roughened footing surface with a quarter-inch amplitude.
