OBJECTIVE AND SCOPE
This Design Guide illustrates a method for the design of braced frame bracing connections based on structural principles, and presents the design basis and complete design examples illustrating the design of:
1. All orthogonal and nonorthogonal connections involving a brace, a beam and a column (corner type)
2. Connections involving a beam or column and one or two braces, such as chevron or K-bracing, and eccentric braces (center type)
3. Connections of braces to columns at column base plates (base type)
4. Both nonseismic and seismic situations are covered
