About this detail

Typical top brace connections anchor diagonal bracing to a steel beam below a concrete-filled or bare metal deck. The assembly utilizes a P1843 attachment fitting secured with a half-inch diameter through-bolt to the beam, along with a half-inch diameter bolt and P1010 spring nut connecting to the brace. Dimensions indicate a minimum one-and-a-quarter-inch and maximum one-and-a-half-inch spacing, with a maximum two-inch offset. The maximum brace force is limited to 2,385 pounds under LRFD earthquake load combinations. A note permits longitudinal and transverse braces to be skewed up to a maximum of one-to-six from parallel or longitudinal orientation to avoid interferences.
