Typical Vertical Bracing Connections Compression Struts with End-Plates

Theses heavy-duty bracings are generally designed to work in compression only, with the tensile stress being considered insignificant and largely ignored. Such bracing is often used in structures which are subject to high lateral loads, particularly in areas which are subject to seismic activity. The joint between the flanges must be true and square in […]
