Standard Vertical Brace

The Standard Vertical Brace provides restraint within the designated vertical bracing arrangement. Where the system uses an inclined member between a truss and a transom, it is also described as a raker brace. Its purpose is to help restrain lateral movement of the connected truss through a defined structural connection. The exact geometry must follow the bridge drawing, since vertical wind bracing is not the same component as a horizontal wind tie rod.

Product Features

  • Truss lateral restraint

    The truss lateral support brace links its defined upper and lower attachment points. The restraint it provides depends on the member, connection and receiving structure acting together.

  • Inclination and clearance

    For a Bailey bridge raker brace, member angle and end offsets affect fit. The layout must also leave the clearances required around the roadway, deck edge and adjacent steelwork.

  • System-specific member form

    Rod or section form, end plates and fasteners are confirmed as a complete detail. A visually similar diagonal member should not be assumed to provide the same structural restraint.
