Angle Bracing Vertical Out of Plane Tolerance

Angle Bracing Vertical Out of Plane Tolerance

Angle Bracing Vertical Out of Plane Tolerance

(OP)
Is anyone aware of the maximum vertical out of plane tolerance allowed between the top and bottom of the bracing connections? In other words if the top and bottom connections do not line up vertically how far can they be out before the situation should be investigated? Does AISC address this condition in their erection tolerances? I couldn't find anything.

Thanks

RE: Angle Bracing Vertical Out of Plane Tolerance

That should be governed by the tolerances for "Established Column Lines" as specified in the AISC Code of Standard Practice. Assuming your vertical bracing is connected at the top and bottom to columns, the tolerances for "Established Column Lines" combined with the fabrication tolerances for placement of the bracing connection (gusset plate, etc.) should define the over-all erection tolerances.
