Introduction
A compression member composed of two angles, channels or tees, back
to back, in contact or separated by a small distance should be
connected together by riveting, bolting or welding so that the
slenderness ratio of each member between the connections is not
greater than 40 nor greater than 0.60 times the most unfavorable
slenderness ratio of the strut as a whole. In no case, the spacing of
tacking rivets in a line exceed 600mm for such members.
For other types of built-up compression members, where cover plates
are used, the pitch of tacking rivets should not exceed 32t or 300mm,
whichever is less, where t is the thickness of the thinner outside plate.
Where plates are exposed to bad weather conditions, the pitch should
not exceed 16 t or 200mm whichever is less.
Lacing
A system of bracing bars, not crossing each other in the middle,
connecting the channel bars of a compound strut is known as lacing.
Flat or angle sections are normally used as lacings. The purpose of
lacing is to hold the various parts of column straight, parallel, at a
correct distance apart and to equalize the stress distribution between its
various parts. There are basically two types of lacing i.e.
(a) Single lacing system

Design of Lacing
Step 1: Assume single or double lacing:
1. Assume angle of inclination of lacing. It should be kept between 40-
