1. INTRODUCTION.

The bracing system: Must provide both force and stiffness. Is used for beams, columns and frames. Reduces effective length of columns. Reduces effective length of beams.

Provides overall stability to frames. May be discrete or continuous.

-For kL/k0L >1, the system is braced and can reach Pcr -Any k >kc, gives no benefit-For k <kc, the system is only partially braced and P/Pcr <1

2. COLUMN BRACING.

Consider a two-storey column braced at mid-height. The bracing member forces the column to buckleinto two half waves, i.e.:

Thus the bracing stiffness k0, corresponding to zero initial deflection at the bracing points, can be

In a real structure, however columns have initial crookedness. Forces in the bracing only occurs whenthe force in the column causes the brace to deform.

The selection of braces based on equation [8] implies:

-Assume equation [8] applies to both columns and beams.-For beams deal with compressive force only.-Does not apply to plastically designed structures.-Pcr can be interpreted as the elastic or inelastic load.-Does not apply to locations where brace forces are included in the analysis i.e. P- effects.

Steps:1- Establish brace locations.

First ExampleProvide braces at 1/3 points for a WWF 600x152, 250MPa yield stress, carrying a uniformly distributedload on a span of 18 metres. Only one beam is to be braced. The beam is designed to reach its capacityfor an unbraced length of 6 metres. The brace length is 4.5 metres.

Evaluate the 6m unbraced length beam capacity. First the beam class has to be determined.

- As stiffness of brace, k/k0, decreases the deflections increase.- As stiffness of brace decreases the force Q that must be developed increases.- If the brace is too soft it will need a large force therefore the design should be based on both

strength and stiffness requirements.

Note: (i) One brace is in tension

(ii) It is tacitly assumed that the braces area installed to limitimax to 0.002 of 6000mm.

(iii) If braces are installed withimax =36 mm there is a change in the forces previously calculated.(iv) If braces are installed with initial forces present, these forces should be considered.

Third Example

Part floor framing planColumn C1extends 3700 mm above and below this level. It is prevented from buckling about its weakaxis at this level only by the flexural stiffness about the weak axis of beams AC-1 and CE-1. The

diaphragm action of the floor prevents relative movement of A1, B1, D1 and E1. Column loads aboveand below are 1560 kN and 1780 kN. Assume0 is L/1000 =2x3700/1000 =7.4 mm. Question: Dobeams provide adequate support so that column can be designed for kL =3700mm?

3- An alternative solution takes into account that most of the restraint comes from AC-1 beam. Therefore as good solution will be to increase its size and leave CE-1 as it is i.e.:

4. DIAGONAL BRACING FOR COLUMNS.

The general procedure is composed of four steps:1- Select bracing,2- Compute deflections;

3- Determine the P- effects;4- Iterate till the desired solution convergence.

Fourth Example The specified (1/50) win forces acting on a braced bay and the resulting forces are show in the

illustration below. Select

diagonal bracing to resist the imposed loads including the P- effects.

Additional information1- Dead plus wind load combination case has been established to be critical. Dead loads

contributing to P- effects are: Level 2: 6248kN, Level3: 6248kN, and Level4: 2384kN.

5. DIAPHRAGMS.

The diaphragm action:

- Transfer in-plane lateral loads applied at roof and floor levels to stiffer members;- Need strength and stiffness;- Must look at flow of forces (how forces are carried from point to point) intersheet connections

and connections at boundaries are important.

Consider:

The shear strength of diaphragm depends on:- Seam capacity.- Edge capacity.

- Purlin capacity (a controlled by fasteners).

overall buckling strength.

Stiffness of diaphragm depends on:-Panel warping;

- Movement at seams;- Edge panel slip.
