Minimum angle for X bracing
(OP)
How can we know the minimum angle of an X bracing before
it becomes unefficient ?
anyone have an answer ?
thanks

Minimum angle for X bracing

RE: Minimum angle for X bracing
The angle of a brace should be kept within the range of 30-60 degrees to be efficient. This is a rule of thumbs I have read in some books on structural design. I do not believe it is specified in any code.

I do not think there is a limit on the magnitude of the angle. It is a matter of economics. The lower the angle with the horizontal, the lower the force (and section required) but more length of brace is needed.
If the angle is too large, the force (and the section required) becomes too big.

i think keeping it between 30 to 60 degrees is recommended for economy and structural efficiency.
