2018年11月1日 · Using numerical modeling, they showed that the presence of web stiffeners in IPE beams with reduced sections significantly enhances the seismic behavior of these types of connections in moment resisting frames.

Bracing Connections involve the bolting of flat, angle, channel, I-section, and hollow section members to a gusset plate to support the column or other members. The bracing member in a bracing connection can work in tension alone, or in both tension and compression and stabilize the main components by distributing the loads.

This guide provides a comprehensive approach to the design of common bracing systems based on structural principles.

2022年1月6日 · In this research, the optimization of bracing topology is investigated according to the meta-heuristic island algorithm when the design variables are distinct and must be selected from the available “section” list, “node coordinates”, and “one of the convergent bracing type including multi-story X-bracing or X bracing”.

2018年1月1日 · This paper investigates the behavior and the reduction in the column out-of-plane buckling capacity due to the eccentricity in the vertical bracing connection.

diagonal bracing is normally used, either with a single diagonal or crossed diagonals. See Figure 1. Figure 1 Triangulated cross-bracing For shallower girders (typically less than 1.2 m deep) where diagonals would be at too shallow an angle to be efficient, either K-bracing (see Figure 2) or ‘channel bracing’

For many y ears, the methods for the analysis of bracing connections for heavy construction have been a source of controversy between engineers and steel fabricators. Beginning in 1981, the American Institute of Steel Construction sponsored extensive computer
