scope:
This report contains a description of fourteen experiments on wide-flange beams braced by purlins. These experiments were performed to study the bracing requirements of plastically designed beams. All fourteen beams performed in a satisfactory manner by delivering a plastic hinge of sufficient rotation capacity. The results indicate that beam bracing members need to possess only nominal bending stiffness. Failure in each test was precipitated by combined local and lateral-torsional buckling
