Bracing Cold-Formed Steel Structures takes the frustration out of design
Bracing Cold-Formed Steel Structures: A Design Guide documents the current
practices related to bracing cold-formed steel structure elements and systems.
For many engineers the design of structures using cold-formed steel is seen 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 models 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. 144
