Braced Frames
MIT 1.582Spring 2011
Diagonal bracing creates stable triangular configurations within the steel buildingframe (AISC 2002) “Braced frames are often the most economical method ofresisting wind loads in multi-story buildings (AISC 1991).”
Some structures, like the one pictured above, are designed with a combinationbraced and rigid frame to take advantage of the benefits of both

Two story X’s
X bracing is possibly the most common type of bracing
Bracing can allow a building to have access through the brace linedepending on configuration

Connections for X bracing are located at beam to column joints
Bracing connections may require relatively large gusset plates at the beam tocolumn joint
The restriction of space in these areas may have an impact on the mechanicaland plumbing systems as well as some architectural features

Chevron Bracing
Chevron bracing members use two types of connections
MIT 1.582Spring 20117
The floor level connection may use a gusset plate much like the connection on Xbraced frames. The bracing members are connected to the beam/girder at thetop and converge to a common point
If gusset plates are used, it is important to consider their size when laying-outmechanical and plumbing systems that pass through braced bays (AISC 2002)

Eccentric bracing is commonly used in seismic regions and allows for doorways andcorridors in the braced bays. The difference between Chevron bracing and

eccentric bracing is the space between the bracing members at the top gussetconnection
In an eccentrically braced frame bracing members connect to separate points on thebeam/girder. The beam/girder segment or “link” between the bracing membersabsorbs energy from seismic activity through plastic deformation (AISC2002)

Eccentrically Braced Frames
MIT 1.582Spring 2011
Eccentrically braced frames look similar to frames with Chevron bracing
A similar V shaped bracing configuration is used

Concentrically Braced Frames (CBFs)
Beams, columns and braces arranged to form a vertical truss. Resist lateral earthquake forces by truss action.
Develop ductility through inelastic action in braces.
- braces yield in tension- braces buckle in compression
Advantages
- high elastic stiffness
Disadvantages
less ductile than other systems (SMFs EBFs BRBFs)
MIT 1.582Spring 2011
- less ductile than other systems (SMFs, EBFs, BRBFs) - reduced architectural versatility

MIT 1.582Spring 2011
Per Section 6.2: use expected tensile strength Rt FU when checking net section fracture of bracing member, since Ry Fy of the same member is used to computed the required strength
