BACK TO BASICS: A REVIEW OF AISI S100 AND S211 BRACE DESIGN PROVISIONS & TORSION CONSIDERATIONS WEBINAR

Presentation Outline:  Singly-symmetric sections such as C-sections require bracing to stabilize them from torsional effects. This webinar will take us back to our roots and review the applicable AISI S100 and S211 design provisions for flexural members, i.e. wall studs or joists, with a focus on design requirements for both lateral-torsional buckling and torsion. Bracing considerations for achieving overall stability will also be discussed.
