This is why prefer X bracing over Chevron Bracing

[@jyotirupsarkar9238]

Quite useful video but I have modelled chevron bracing in Staad applying a lateral load of 5 Kn.Here it is showing tension and compression in two bracing

Thank you Tonmoy for this informative video.
However, regarding the 2nd argument, my understanding is that Chevron bracing in the frame alternatively carries compression and tension. When a lateral load is applied, one bracing member undergoes compression, resisting forces, while the other naturally experiences tension, counterbalancing the load. This dynamic interaction stabilizes the structure, efficiently transmitting axial forces to the columns for overall stability. I modelled the frame in Staad, and it shows the compression in one bracing and tension in the other, which could nullify the effect of moment in the beam. Please correct me if I am wrong.

For the first argument, for example if the horizontal beam s failing due to slenderness can we take the advantage of 1/2 effecive length?

[@TonmoyMaity]

Sure

Please make video on application example of IS 18168: 2023 on industrial shed.

Not ok with argument 2. If go with your approach then vertical component of reaction will be in one leg. What about the uplift reaction on the other leg ?

What is the ideal distance between two braced bays if my pipe rack length is around 80m..

[@TonmoyMaity]

It depends on codal provision

Thank you for this educational video keep doing this ❤

[@TonmoyMaity]

Thank you, I will

[@tonyuseche2316]

Thanks from Valencia Venezuela you teach with not so much complication.

[@TonmoyMaity]

Glad it was helpful!

[@sayarisinha4982]

In the last part why u did not show x-bracing and there force components?

[@TonmoyMaity]

Day by day I am also improving myself 😊. Sorry if I didn't.

[@Szhihihihihihi]

Thanks,
Can you release a video to specifically talk about the Welding ?

[@TonmoyMaity]

Ok, I will try

[@azmat_waseem]

Very Informative... Thank you...

[@TonmoyMaity]

So nice of you

[@probasco1867]

X bracing is ok as long as bracing are design for compresion also , not only tension.

[@blackpearl9303]

Thanks for the your Videos..it is lot for me..Sir can you make Videos on Piping support in Oil and gas plant...??

[@TonmoyMaity]

Will try
