Transverse bracing 73 x 200

Diagonal braces ensure lateral rigidity in vertical planes.

Diagonal braces are made of tubes flattened at both ends. One of them (chamfered), mounted

in the hole in the stay, is individually shaped for each system bay width from 3.07 m to 2.07 m,

and standard storey height of 2.0 m. On the other end is an articulated half-coupling with a

wedge or screw, mounted to the rack of the adjacent frame.

If the bay is 1.57 m long and 2.0 m high, there are articulated half-couplings with a wedge or

screw on both ends of the brace. The transverse brace has the same structure, and can be

mounted across the frame, providing additional rigidity, e.g. for vertical circulation shafts, where

there are girders, and also as the support for 0.73 or 1.09 m brackets (as a stay).
