Double Angle Verticle Braces
Double Angle Verticle Braces
(OP)
I am using double angle verticle braces. I call out spacer blocks (Plate in between the two angles) every 4' (Standard procedure at old job used for years). Wondering what others use for spacing of these spacer blocks?

sp = spacing of plates
r = least principal radium of gyration of single angle
L = length of double angle
R = least radius of gyration of double angle

The AISC Spec suggests that a/ri not greater than 0.75 l/r
a = spacing
ri = radius of gyration of individual component
RE: Double Angle Verticle Braces
Would your term ri be the least principal radius of gyration of the individual component?
