designing of horizontal bracing for AISC 341-05 spec
designing of horizontal bracing for AISC 341-05 spec
(OP)
i am designing the structure to Aisc 341-05, i am having horizontal bracing in all floors,
i have question in the connection of Horizontal bracing at the column node, where there is my beam, vertical brace and
horizontal brace connecting at the one column node.
As per Aisc 341-13.4a, beam with torsional restraint is required at brace intersection,
but i have designed the beam end conn(clip angle conn) as shear connection and vertical brace gusset bolted to column flange.
and the horizontal brace connected to beam web at column corner. Is this the Correct conn arrgt or i have design the beam conn with column
as moment conn.
thanks

we have designed the beam to column conn as shear conn.

The simple shear connection you provide at the column should be sufficient given that the brace meets the required stiffness requirements of AISC 341.
