Design a preliminary design on the beam, columns & bracing members The Ordinary Concentric Braced Frame shown below is used to resist wind loads in a multistory building as well as gravity loads for economy. (Create a preliminary design on the beam, columns & bracing members.) a) a brace with sufficient buckling strength to develop equal forces between both braces and b) a slender brace such that the compression strength can be ignored. For case (6) check that the beam can support the additional vertical load 20 The wind loads (W) due to wind pressures in this story and from the column shear above are computed to be 60 kips at story level (aligned with CL of beam). Gravity loads from the stories above are 220 kips dead load (D) and 140 kips live load (L) to each column as well as 3 kips per lineal foot uniform distributed load due to dead load and 1.5 kips per lineal foot uniform distributed load from live load acting on the beam Design a preliminary design on the beam, columns & bracing members The Ordinary Concentric Braced Frame shown below is used to resist wind loads in a multistory building as well as gravity loads for economy.
