Design Guide 29: Vertical Bracing Connections-Analysis and Design
Also Known As:
Design Guide 29: Vertical Bracing Connections-Analysis and Design is a standard that offers comprehensive guidance for the analysis and design of vertical brace connections. The primary objective of this guide is to provide engineers with the necessary tools and knowledge to design efficient and effective connections for vertical bracing systems.
The standard begins with an introduction to the design philosophy of common bracing systems, highlighting the importance of understanding the behavior and load distribution of the structure. It emphasizes the need for considering factors such as member strength, stiffness, and load requirements when designing vertical brace connections.
Design Guide 29 also covers the analysis and design considerations for various types of vertical brace connections, including welded and bolted connections. It provides detailed information on the load path, connection types, selection of materials, and design procedures for each type of connection.
Additionally, the standard includes design examples and practical considerations for retrofitting existing structures with vertical bracing systems. It emphasizes the importance of teamwork and coordination between the design engineer, fabricator, and erector to ensure the successful implementation of the design.
