Vertical Bracing Connections - Analysis and Design (PDH)

Presented by: William A. Thornton, PhD, PE and Larry Muir, PE

This presentation provides an overview of AISC Design Guide 29: Vertical Bracing Connections - Analysis and Design which delves into the design of bracing connections based on structural principles.

Topics include:

  • Design basis for orthogonal and nonorthogonal connections using the Uniform Force Method
  • Corner, center and base-type connection
  • Seismic and non-seismic situations
  • Extensive design examples

This course is based on a past NASCC session.
