Steel Frame Brace Design
(OP)
Can anyone tell me the reason for the "fuse region" (space between connections) in an eccentric Inverted "V" Brace? I am pretty sure it allows for deformation of the beam to which they connect, but what is the main advantage of that? Please see file attached. Thanks.

Any hint on how to calculate or dimension of the fuse region? Is the "beam depth" a rule-of-thumb to follow?

Free AISC specification for download. Has a bit of commentary on EBF's and the specification itself.
