    Recommended for you 1) Toss out the terms "lateral bracing" and "torsional bracing" in general. 2) For beam LTB, there's only one kind of bracing and it should be thought of as "rotational bracing" which restrains... 3) …

Torsional Bracing Requirement in 13th edition - Structural …

    Flexural-torsional buckling is something that happens to singly-symm columns. If you're referring to lateral-torsional buckling, then Appendix 6 indicates that you can consider a location along your beam braced if the compression flange can't translate OR if the entire section at that location can't twist. 271828 (Structural) 9 May 07 13:11

Strength and stiffness requirements for beam torsional bracing

    Torsional bracing is aimed to prevent twisting of the cross-section and improve lateral-torsional buckling (LTB) strength of steel I-girders (Fig. 1). Bridge girders with torsional bracing are usually designed assuming that buckling length is equal by the distance between the brace points.

    The torsional braces were modeled as both full depth cross frames and beam elements that framed into one of the chords. Since full depth cross frames are not generally sensitive to cross sectional, the cases with beam elements were modeled using a rigid web vertical to eliminate the cross sectional distortion.

    In your example of secondary beams framing into a girder, I believe they will provide TORSIONAL bracing support per Appendix 6, especially if full fitted stiffeners are used, the connections will support the required torsional bracing moment, and the secondary beams have adequate stiffness. mlt55 (Structural) 22 Nov 07 09:48

    Under lateral bracing, one can brace the beam at the compression flange (either top or bottom or both, depending on loading). Under torsional bracing, one is trying to prevent the section from twisting. To prevent twisting, typically a full-depth stiffener is welded to the SMF beam and connected to another beam nearby.

    https://www.steelconstruction.info/images/2/2b/GN_1-03.pdf
    Bracing at intermediate and end supports is required to provide torsional restraint to the girders and to effect the transfer of lateral forces (e.g. collision loads) from deck level to the bearings.

Steel Moment Frame Beam Bracing - Simpson Strong-Tie …

    https://seblog.strongtie.com/2013/07/steel-moment-frame-beam-bracing/
    To prevent torsional or flexural beam buckling, torsional or lateral bracing is required by code. AISC 360-10 Appendix 6 lists the strength and stiffness requirements for such bracing. Depending on how the beam is braced (relative or nodal), different strengths and stiffnesses are required to prevent flexural buckling.

Strength and Stiffness Requirements for Beam Torsional Bracing

    https://www.aisc.org/education/continuingeducation/education-archives/strength-and-stiffness-requirements-for-beam-torsional-bracing/
    Effective torsional bracing for stability must satisfy both stiffness and strength requirements. The design philosophy for most stability bracing is to provide twice the ""ideal"" stiffness that often limits the member deformation to a value equal to the initial imperfection. For beam torsional bracing, computational studies have shown that the current AISC Appendix 6 …
