Sentence examples for central brace from inspiring English sources

In the present paper, results of experimental and numerical investigations of the chord-side SCF distribution of central brace in internally ring-stiffened tubular KT-joints are presented.

The analysis results are used to present the general remarks on the effect of geometrical parameters on the chord-side SCF distribution along the weld toe of central brace, and to establish a new set of SCF parametric equations, through non-linear regression analysis, for the fatigue design of internally ring-stiffened KT-joints.

Central bracing is more effective than corner and diagonal bracing.

Central bracing is more effective than that of corner bracing.

(a) Corner bracing, R2; (b) central bracing, R3; and (c) diagonal bracing, R4.

The analysis results are used to present general remarks on the effect of geometrical characteristics on the stress concentration factors (SCFs) at different saddle positions on the central braces.

Though diagonally braced system shows better results than that of the other two systems, practically, it is difficult to implement as it would hinder the movement of users around the space and thus central bracing system is more effective for soft story frames.

Though full corner braced infilled system shows better results than that of the other two systems, practically it is difficult to implement for soft storey frames as it would hinder the movement of users around the space, and thus central bracing system is more effective with moderate ultimate strength.
