This lecture will cover design requirements for bracing of beam systems. Several design examples will demonstrate the effective use of the AISC Specification Appendix 6 provisions. These examples will include relative, nodal, and lean-on applications. The uses of the provisions covered in the Specification Appendix, as well as modifications covered in the Specification Commentary will be addressed. The importance of brace connection details is emphasized. Both building and bridge engineers will find useful information that can be incorporated into their beam designs.
