Week 6 Challenge

3. Draw the load path and identify the Axial force type in different type of bracing system below to resist horizontal shear & gravity load. Also state the type of bracing system

Aim:

To raw the load path and identify the Axial force type in different type of bracing system below to resist horizontal shear & gravity load and also state the type of bracing system

Procedure:

Model the bracing systems in staad and check for the axial force since the members and bracings are released in My and Mz.

a) Diagonal Bracing

b) Diagonal Bracing

c) X Bracing

d) Eccentric Bracing

Legends for the bracing behaviors

- Compression Force

- Tension Force

Lateral Force

Vertical Force

Conclusion:

Thus the load path and the axial force has been identified as shown above.
