Uniform Force Method with brace connected to column web
Uniform Force Method with brace connected to column web
(OP)
Hello,
I have a braced connection with a beam connected to the web of a column (as opposed to the flange in the classical example). Do I use the column eccentricity (e_b) equal to the column_web_thickness/2 when satisfying the zero-moment UFM criteria?
Thanks,

I believe (as StructSU10 said) this is discussed in more detail in that design guide.
