Tie Beam Bracing System (Steel Structure)
Tie Beam Bracing System (Steel Structure)
(OP)
I am designing a steel structure the issue is that i cannot provide the wall bracing (even portal bracing)due to some restrictions , so i am providing tie beam , column web to column web (both Fixed end support), My question is that does this tie beam will work as bracing member , however the drifting is under allowable after providing the tie beam.
please see the attachment for more clarification
Thanks in Advance

I like to debate structural engineering theory -- a lot. If I challenge you on something, know that I'm doing so because I respect your opinion enough to either change it or adopt it.

If I use SHS Columns instead of I section, what you think I can get more resistance in both axis against drifting in this case???
However I know to design of moment connection will be difficult between I beam and SHS column.
