Steel structure bracing provides essential stability against lateral forces (wind, seismic, crane thrusts). Proper bracing in steel structures improves:
✔ Structural rigidity
✔ Load distribution
✔ Construction safety
✔ Service life extension
A. Horizontal Bracing Systems
(Roof/Diaphragm Bracing)
Function: Transfers lateral loads to vertical bracing
Common Types:
X-bracing (Single/Double diagonals)
K-bracing (Concentrically braced frames)
Portal bracing (For industrial buildings)
Technical Specs:
Material: ASTM A36/A500 Gr.B
Connection: Bolted (HSFG) or welded
Typical spacing: 6-12m between bays
B. Vertical Bracing Systems
(Wall Bracing)
Function: Resists side-sway and overturning
Configuration Types:
Cross bracing (Most economical)
Chevron (V) bracing (Clear doorway access)
Eccentric bracing (Seismic energy dissipation)
Key Parameters:
Angle: 35°-55° for optimal efficiency
Member types: Hollow sections, angles, or channels
C. Specialized Bracing
Knee bracing: Low-height diagonal supports
Tension-only rods: For light-duty applications
Buckling-Restrained Braces (BRB): Seismic zones
Bracing Type | Load Capacity | Space Intrusion | Seismic Performance | Cost Index |
---|---|---|---|---|
X-Bracing | High | Moderate | Good | $$ |
Chevron | Medium-High | Low | Fair | $$$ |
Eccentric | High | High | Excellent | $$$$ |
Portal | Very High | Very Low | Good | $$ |
Critical Components:
Gusset plates (8-25mm thickness)
Slotted holes for adjustment
Moment-resisting connections
Installation Standards:
AISC 341 (Seismic)
EN 1993 (Eurocode)
GB 50017 (China)
For Warehouses:
Recommended: Single-diagonal roof bracing + portal frames
Steel grade: Q235B with hot-dip galvanizing
For High-Rises:
Optimal: Eccentric bracing with BRBs
Connection: Welded box sections
For Bridges:
Special: K-bracing with fatigue-rated details
Material: ASTM A709 Gr.50
Dimensional tolerance: ±3mm
Non-destructive testing: UT for critical welds
Pre-installation trial fitting
