Stability Bracing of Beams (Required Strength)

Stability Bracing of Beams (Required Strength)

Pbr = 0.02·(Mr·Cdho)

Pbr

Required strength of the stability beam bracing

Mr

Required flexural strength of the beam. Mr = RyFyZ/αs [AISC 341 Equation D1-1]

Cd

Double curvature factor = 1.0 [AISC 341 Section D1.2a(b)]

ho

Distance between the flange centroid ho = d - tf
