✦ Synopsis

This book documents the current practices related to bracing cold-formed steel structures elements and systems. Many engineers see the design of structures using cold-formed steel as a daunting task. This report seeks to remove some of the perceived mystery by providing readily useful information for bracing these structures. Heavy on applications and examples, this book contains design examples illustrating bracing design for various types of cold-formed steel structures, as well as an extensive list of primary reference sources. This report is presented as a design guide and will assist the practicing engineer in designing cold-formed steel structures with greater levels of reliability, safety and economy.
