NCCI: Initial sizing of vertical bracing for a multi-storey building for design as a braced, non-sway frame SN028a-EN-EU
NCCI: Initial sizing of vertical bracing for a multi-storey building for design as a braced, non-sway frame
Presents a simple procedure for the selection of bracing member sizes in order to ensure that the frame is a non-sway frame and that first order analysis may be used for the structure, without any amplification of horizontal loads.

Introduction
Vertical bracing is designed to resist wind load plus equivalent horizontal forces given by 5.3 of EN 1993-1-1. First order frame analysis can be used for braced frames, provided that the vertical bracing provides sufficient stiffness. For first order analysis to be applicable, EN 1993-1-1 5.2.1 requires that cr 10 for the whole frame, and therefore for each storey of a multi-storey building. Simple guidance is given in Sections 2 and 3 for the selection of bracing members so that sufficient stiffness is provided for such analysis to be valid. This allows the designer to avoid the complexities of second order analysis, or of allowing for second order effects by amplification of first order effects. The bracing arrangements considered by this study are presented in Figure 1.1.

Scope
The design procedure presented below was derived for buildings with the following limitations: Height not exceeding 30 m Angle of bracing members between 15o and 50o to the horizontal. The bracing arrangements shown in Figure 1.1. Note that the procedure does not depend on the steel grade.
