Vertical Bracing in Offset Brace Tower
Vertical Bracing in Offset Brace Tower
(OP)
Hello all,
I would like to understand why, using the UFM, Hc (required axial force on the gusset to column connection) would not transfer back into the beam connection? I understand that this usually happens at single diagonal braces in offset brace towers. If anyone could point me to any literature that explains this that would greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
