BRACING SYSTEMS
The bracing systems are signi cant part of the Pre-Engineered Building systems that help transfer seismic loads and wind loads from end walls and side walls to the foundation. X-Bracing systems and Portal Bracing systems are the commonly used bracing systems for transferring lateral forces into the foundation.
X-Bracing Systems
Consist of rods, cables and angles bracing systems. They are used in wall and roof planes as axial loads paths to transfer all horizontal loads to the foundations.
Portal Bracing System
