14 lis 2022 · Horizontal bracing. Bracing at each floor (in horizontal planes) provides load paths for the transference of horizontal forces to the planes of vertical bracing. Horizontal bracing is needed at each floor level, however, the floor system itself may provide sufficient resistance. Roofs may also require bracing. Types of bracing
2- Horizontal bracing system The bracing at each floor level provides load paths for the transference of horizontal forces to the planes of vertical bracing. Horizontal bracing is needed at each floor level, however, the floor system itself may provide sufficient resistance.
Horizontal bracing. At each floor level, bracing in a horizontal plane, generally provided by floor plate action, provides a load path to transfer the horizontal forces (mainly from the perimeter columns, due to wind) to the planes of vertical bracing.
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
Selection of Structural Shapes. The most common shapes used for horizontal bracing are single angles and WT-shapes. Single angles are the most economical shape for resist-ing small and medium loads, because WT-shapes must be split from W-shapes and straightened by the fabricator.
This volume discusses the design of bracing systems for the superstructures of straight and curved girder systems. I-girder and box shaped members are covered.
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
