Subject: Temporary Bracing Requirements
I'm currently trying to determine the requirements for temporary lateral bracing of 3 story steel structure. Since the permanent bracing will be installed before the exterior walls will be up the wind load is minimal. The only other loading that I can think to consider is a notional load of 0.6% DL+CLL per the AISC. Is this correct? Are there any other loads or considerations that I should know about here?
Thanks,
