*1 Consider brace as flexural compression due to rigid connection required for SDC "D" of AISC 341-05.
*2 If the ratios from equation below are greater than 2.0, it is permitted to use p in Table B4.1 of AISC 360-05.

2.0
(defined in clause 9.6. of AISC 341-05.)
*3 It is permitted to use p in Table B4.1 of AISC 360-05 for flanges of links of length 1.6Mp /Vp or less, where Mp and Vp are defined in Section 15.
*4 It is permitted to use p in Specification Table B4.1 for columns in STMF, Section 12 and columns in EBF, Section 15.
*5 For LRFD,

0.90
*6 For columns in SMF, if the ratios from equation *3 are greater than 2.0; columns in EBF; or EBF webs of links of length 1.6 Mp /Vp or less, it is permitted to use the
following for p:
for 0.125, 3.76 1 2.75

for 0.125, 1.12 2.33 1.49

*7 Adopted noncompact due to compact not avairable in Table B4.1 of AISC 360-05.
*8 For uniform compression, noncompact shall be applied due to compact not avairable in Table B4.1 of AISC 360-05.
*9 Braces with 4 / Kl/ r 200 are permitted in certain cases. (Refer to AISC 341-05, 13.2a)
*10 This is applied for bracing members in K, V,or inverted-V configurations. ( Members that are designed as tension only are not required to satisfy this provision.)
