Moment Frame and Braces as Lateral Force Resisting Systems

In this video, Popsicle sticks are used to study various lateral force resisting systems in a building frame. First, we try a building with no lateral system. We will then try a moment frame and finally diagonal and cross-bracing systems will be tried.

IT'S RIDICULOUS HOW SO SIMPLE AND STRAIGHTFORWARD YOU DELIVERED THIS EXPLANATION AND ALL OF IT I COULD DIGEST RIGHT AWAY. thank you man i really needed this. i have terrible attention span and this video helped me a lot in understanding these systems liked and subbed!! :)

[@xu_el8isa]

Thank you. That's was one of the most simplest way I understood it.

[@natalieblog5858]

Finally, someone who actually helped. explain this, for my school project tysm

This video helped me design the fence for my yard. I did a horizontal shadow box fence with the structural X boxed inside the horizontal boards, screwed into the inside of the post, which were spaced 8' apart. Wish I could attach a picture. Never built a fence before, but the style of it is getting great feedback from the neighbors. Thank you! I love the look of it and I love that my fence is built to last, thanks to the X between the post. Great teaching video!

Thank you for your comment. This is an interesting use of braces but as you know the concept is applicable to any structure that requires lateral stability.

[@TV-ws8mf]

It's pretty awesome. Thank you so much.

[@MrJetfire20]

I think all engineers should bild one of this, it is such a easy way to understand this concepts ...

[@DrSmoke2104]

You're awesome man! for long I tried to figure out these but I ever imagined they could be so easy!

[@rouyanshafiei6747]

Great video!

[@Aaron_Barrett]

I need to build small shop as cheap as possible, so your video is very helpful to me❤

[@tehsoonguan9343]

Bravo !

[@Forgemno]

Thanks. I'm studying nfpa and this came up

[@bobwhite5440]

excellent vid.

[@porit1023]

Thank you this was very helpful

[@StructurePlanet]

I am glad that this video was helpful to you.

Is there much of a difference if the braces are connected: vertical to vertical member, or vertical/ horizontal to vertical/ horizontal, or horizontal to horizontal members? Did that convey my question well? I hope.

[@edmarferreirajunior724]

It makes no difference whether the diagonals are connected. The frames only need to be triangulated. But the entire column of frames must be triangulated.

[@charularora9081]

extremely helpful

[@StructurePlanet]

Glad to hear!

[@dominykascyras4470]

Front and back frames stiff, anything in between - rigid. Connect via good roof system. The result is an optimal system with an ability to put windows.

[@voodoochild7778]

BUt could you not use single diagonal brace in each square?With braces facing away from each other in each square?Tops of the braces facing outside in each square.Which would save you the overlapping problem.
Any forces acting on the structure will be coming from outside and with braces facing outside also then you would have just as sturdy a wall.
Just top of my head wondering lol

[@StructurePlanet]

Yes. A cross brace can be split into 2 braces each in a separate bay if this is what you meant :)

[@voodoochild7778]

@@StructurePlanet a single brace in each square positioned to take any outside force and direct it toward the center and base.force on the top square will be directed by single brace to both center boards and the bottom will be directed to the same spot on the bottom of structure.
Not an engineer lol Just a geek and Jack(or at least knowledgeable) of all trades and subjects but master of only a few lol

[@justsmile5706]

WOW .. you're amazing .. well done .. like and subscribe without a doubt

[@StructurePlanet]

Glad that it was helpful!

[@Fratasims1]

Please just show the FINAL Bracing! No Time to go through each step. Time is very valuable for us!

[@evanschriswhite2758]

Be nice if there were some dimensions included with this

[@StructurePlanet]

Hi. This is all based on the standard Popsicle stick sizes.

[@OOXX-oy2gg]

wow!! thank you! well done ❤❤

[@emrankarimi9887]

very nice.i copy this video to my instagram page . but i put youre page link .
