From the comparative studies, the torsional bracing requirements were experimentally proved for the inelastic buckling range approaching the compact unbraced length limit.
To overcome this, a strategy to use the AISC-LRFD's chart-based method, which plots the relationships between the flexural capacities of steel sections and their unbraced lengths of lateral bracing and weights, will be helpful in determining the lightest steel sections in terms of their lateral bracing requirements and capacity.
This study examines inelastic buckling of discretely braced I-girders by diaphragm bracings and torsional stiffness requirements to attain nominal flexural design strengths.
The 2007 version of AISI S213 includes requirements for the brace material and the use of capacity design principles; as well, the engineer is directed towards using welded connections to avoid possible net section fracture of the braces.
The Wall Street banks are bracing for tougher capital and liquidity requirements as the price for access to the balance sheet of the Federal Reserve.
Having decided not to act over the weekend, when many analysts had been braced for interest rates and reserve requirements to be cut, the PBoC timed its move well.
Seismic design provisions for buildings in Canada, the United States, Chile and New Zealand are presented for buckling restrained braced frames, with focus on design requirements for seismic stability.
Traditionally the planar pattern of a brace respecting the prescribed normal pressure requirement is designed through empirical tests by trial-and-error.
Therefore, serviceability requirements are assured by means of brace members, so that the structure behaves like a MRF-CBF dual system.
Last week, United's chief financial officer, Frederic F. Brace, noted that the airline was well within the requirements set by its lenders, including JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup and Credit Suisse.
