Types of bracing system pdf

resisting system (bracing system) of a home are discussed below. (Figure 1: Concept of shear walls and diaphragms. All walls contribute to the house stiffness. (a) Schematic, (b) Wall participation is the force transfer Diaphragm A diaphragm is a structural term that simply refers to a horizontal plate-like system (i.e., a sheathed floor, Bracing Connections involves the bolting of flat, angle, channel, I-section, and hollow section members to 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. It is also observed that X bracing system is more superior than other two types of bracing systems. [4] Conclusions: - In this paper, the different types of bracing system are checked in RCC Buildings during earthquake and then compared a base shear and storey displacement. The following conclusions are made: A Base Shear of the building with Knee Bracing "K" Bracing In these type of bracing the most commonly used bracing type are first four only, so in this paper first four types are used for the comparison. Fig.1. Types of Basic Bracing IV. DESIGN DATA These are the data taken account for the analysis of the 2D frame. A. Frame Details: Frame Span - 3 M Frame Height - 3 M The horizontal forces on perimeter columns are generated because of wind force pressure on the cladding of the structure. There are two major types of horizontal bracing systems which are used in the multistory braced steel structure namely: diaphragms and discrete triangulated bracing. Regarding diaphragms, there are various types of floor
