Deflection in bracing is similar to the deflection that we experience every day in the floors of our homes and office. You may not be able to see it clearly or feel it, but rest assured, it is there. The about of deflection is the actual amount of bend that your braces will experience as you apply tension on them from the strings. Find out how to minimize this deflection in this article.

Stress Placed On Bracing Source: General Information Brace Strength Analysis: In this article we will be making an analysis of the strength of wood and how it relates to brace dimensions and structural integrity. We will be using some structural engineering formulas to some degree, so it may come a bit confusing, but hang in [...]
