Bracing For Industrial Buildings
• Bracing resists horizontal forces such as wind, crane longitudinal surge, and earthquake. • Every fourth or fifth bay may be braced. But no less than two should be provided. • The bracing can be single diagonal members or cross members. • Single bracing members must be designed to carry loads in tension and compression. • With cross-bracing, only the members in tension are assumed to be effective and those in compression are ignored. • The internal frames resist the transverse wind load by bending in the cantilever columns.
