Knee Brace as a substitute for X-Bracing
Knee Brace as a substitute for X-Bracing
(OP)
I am designing a rectangular platform for an industrial application. All four bays in the vertical plane were provided with diagonal x-bracing. Due to clearance requirements the diagonal x-bracing is not acceptable. Can the x-bracing be replaced with knee braces? Or are knee braces together with rigid moment connections required? Thanks in advance.
