Horizontal Transversal Bracing
Horizontal Longitudinal Bracing
Outline
Use of roof bracing
To ensure stiffness of the longitudinal frames
To carry all horizontal longitudinal loads to the foundations
Evaluation of loads
wind load (Q),
Limit states and combination of actions
Design
Static scheme, cross‐section sizing, verifications
Evaluation of loads

Wp wind pressure acting on the transverse cladding
Ws wind sucction acting on the transverse cladding
Ffr wind friction acting on the roof
S Stabilizing force corresponding to stabilize the compressed top chord of the roof truss
Evaluation of loads
Wind pressure/sucction on the transverse cladding
Wind pressure acting on external surfaces (from the portal frame analysis)

q p ( ze ) ce ( ze ) qb
qp(ze) is the peak velocity pressure at reference height ze, cpe is the external
pressure coefficient, ce is the exposure factor and qb is the basic velocity
pressure.

Horizontal Transversal Bracing
A variety of cross‐sections may be used: angle, round tube, square tube
Please select a cross‐section of your choice and check for resistance
(elements in tension), stability (elements in compression) and design the fillet
welds connecting the elements of the horizontal transverse frames.
