SCOPE
This covers the design of bracing connections and the standard bracing
connection details applicable to General Building Structures.
2.0
DESCRIPTION
Bracings stiffen the building against lateral and longitudinal crane and
wind/seismic forces and provide a path to carry these loads to the foundation.
Bracings are generally of shop welded and field bolted construction. Field
welding is to be avoided as far as possible as it does not lend itself to proper
surveillance under field conditions. Bracing members shall where practicable
be disposed symetrically about the resultant line of force and the connections
where practicable, be arranged so that their centroid lies on the resultant of
forces they are intended to resist.

DATA
Data required for proceeding with the design of bracing connections are:
6.0
(a)
(b)
Location and thickness of walls and floor slabs, etc. Care should be
taken to keep connections clear of the above as far as possible.
(c)
(d)
METHOD OF DESIGN
Working stress design is adopted for General Building Structures.

DESIGN LOADS
Connections are to be designed for following load combinations:
(a)
(b)
(c)
Live load may be caused due to pipe and duct loads, temperature loads, live
load on floor, crane surge and braking forces, etc.

Draw-In Bracing
SECTION: WRITE-UP
SHEET 4 OF 11
OF 4
Long single angle cross bracing members are relatively flexible and tend to
vibrate and deflect out of plane rather easily. Horizontal bracing members may
also sag, resulting in an objectionable appearance. In order to reduce these
tendencies such angles are generally fabricated to a slightly shorter length. The
calculated or theoretical centre to centre distance between end working points
is reduced for fabricating purposes according to the following schedule:
Draw-in bracings should not be used without the prior knowledge and approval
of Project Engineer.

(b)
In Case (a), the bracing at mid span acts like a prop and additional axial forces
are induced in bracing member due to dead load, live load.
In Case (b), the bracing is installed after the casting of floor slab or floor
grating and in that case such additional axial forces will be induced due to live
load only.

CONSTRUCTION FEATURES
Strut Beam to Column Flange or Web Connection
SECTION: WRITE-UP
SHEET 5 OF 11
OF 4
Strut beam is provided with an end plate and gussets are welded to top and
bottom flange. The end plate extends at top and bottom and is connected to
gussets at top and bottom. The end plate is then bolted to column.

(b)
Strut beam is provided with an end plate which does not stick out
beyond the depth of beam. Stools are provided at top and bottom
which are connected to beam and column by bolts and the gusset in the
stool connects the bracing member.

Assuming 2 lines of weld of 40 cm length and size of fillet weld equal to 6 mm.
Effective length of 6 mm fillet weld
= 40 - 2 x 0.6 = 38.8 cm
Z of weld group in vertical and horizontal direction about corner point = 2 x 2 x 38.82

Z = 2007.2 cm3
Force on weld due to bending = 30 x 7.5

= 0.11 T/cm
Force on weld due to direct load = 21.12
38.8 x 2
= 0.27 T/cm
___________________
Resultant force on weld = 0.112 + 0.272 x 1.8
As per Cl.7.5.1.1 of

IS:816-1969
< 0.467 T/cm i.e. capacity of 6 mm weld (0.6x0.707x1.1)
= 0.467 T/cm
Hence the design is safe.
