Beam lateral bracing location
Beam lateral bracing location
(OP)
I know lateral bracing is ineffective if it is placed near the center of the beam. I know the ideal place is to brace the compression flange. I have a situation where it would be ideal someplace in between. What works? What doesn't? Thanks

Solid! Thanks for the quick response. Do you know where it states that?

How would designing the beam to beam connection as a moment connection brace the top flange of the supporting beam? What did you mean by "portal frame effect"? Can you please elaborate?
Thanks
