Hello all,
When a beam spans from column to column with knee braces going from the columns to the bottom of the beam how much does this reduce the span length? The knee braces our obvioulsy not design to carry the entire load of the beam so some of it is still going to go to the column. It seems as though the span length would be somewhere between the length between the braces and the distance between the columns. Any thoughts would be appreciated...Thanks.
