Methods of Wall Bracings (continued from Tuesday)

Typical wall bracing at the bottom of the building columns can either be achieved by the use of a rod brace connected to the web of the frame and fastened with a hillside washer and a nut or by the same attachment link utilizing a cable brace and an eye bolt. A wall bracing alternative at the bottom of the column is the connection of bracing rods to the column with bolted brackets. This can be done to the interior flange of a straight column or the exterior flange of a tapered column.
