Bracing layout has a major influence on the stability and behaviour of steel buildings. The position of the braced bays affects lateral stiffness, torsional response, diaphragm forces, load paths and foundation reactions

The most common form of steel connections in steel-framed structures is simple connections. These are connections that are incapable of transmitting significant bending moment between the frame elements.
A structure does not only transfer gravitational forces to the ground, it must do so for several other lateral forces applied . The components that…
