This appendix addresses the minimum strength and stiffness necessary for bracing to develop the required strength of a column, beam, or beam-column. The appendix is organized as follows:
6.1. General Provisions 6.2. Column Bracing 6.3. Beam Bracing 6.4. Beam-Column Bracing
User Note: Stability requirements for lateral force-resisting systems are provided in Chapter C. The provisions in this appendix apply to bracing that is not generally included in the analysis model of the overall structure, but is provided to stabilize individual columns, beams, and beam-columns. Guidance for applying these provisions to stabilize trusses is provided in the Commentary.
