This volume provides: a) an overview of bracing utilized for I-girders, b) a discussion of the bracing systems for tub girders, and c) design requirements for the members and connections of bracing systems.
To provide horizontal stability: - Wind girders at roof level, or at intermediate levels if required - Vertical bracing in the side walls and/or in the gables. Two types of general arrangement of the structure of a typical single-storey building are shown in Figure 1.2 and in Figure 1.3.
This publication covers the design of braced, steel-framed multi-storey buildings, and offers guidance on the structural design of the superstructure. Recognising that ‘building design’ issues heavily influence the design of the superstructure, this publication also
This publication covers the design of braced steel-framed medium rise buildings, offers guidance on the structural design of the superstructure and gives general advice on such issues as foundations, building layout, service integration and construction programme. It
Bracing systems serve a number of important roles in both straight and horizontally curved bridges. The braces provide stability to the primary girders as well as improving the lateral or torsional stiffness and strength of the bridge system both during construction and in service.
bracing is effective only if the horizontal is very stiff or if it is tied by a second horizontal. Bracing that is required only for construction purposes may be removed once construction is complete if it impedes maintenance opera-tions or adversely affects the performance of the bridge in service. However, it is often
BRACING OF A TIMBER-FRAMED BUILDING is required to resist horizontal wind and earth-quake loads. The bracing demand to resist wind is expressed in bracing units (BUs) per lineal metre and bracing units per square metre for earthquakes. This compilation of articles from Build magazine looks at the bracing requirements for
