About bracings, howTo ?
(OP)
Hi,
I have a question about bracings. Do I need to tell Etabs that this type of element is NOT a Moment Frame, it is a bracing ? And it must be designed as a bracing ? HowTo ?
When I have a bracing, I release the M2, M3, T at both ends, is that Ok ? anything else I should do ?
Thx

Im new in this Forum,
I want tyo ask you, about loads acting on bracings,
When you display results for bracings ( in Etabs ), you will see Bending moments and shear forces,
My question is how do you make bracings to occur only axial loads, or axial loads but only tension values ( of course in Etabs)
best regards

For creating a tension only brace you can look at the following thread http://www.eng-tips.com/faqs.cfm?fid=1169

I' m new in using the program and I have the same problem with bracings and how to make them occur only tension values.
I read the method which slickdeals proposes and I would like to ask if I could use this method with linear analysis.
thank you
