The slenderness ratio of braces is automatically checked with Eq. F1-1. This condition must be fullfiled fulfilled under the cross-section's axial compression or tension force of the cross-section in order to plasticize the structure to absorb the necessary amount of energy.
Braces must be determined by taking into account with considering the load combinations, including seismic effects determined by the relevant building codes.
