The carbon steel sway braces for this project range in length from 88-3/8″ to 95-3/4″. The largest sway brace has an operating load of 18,000 lb., a design travel of 12″ in either compression or extension, and a spring rate of 1416 lb. per inch. The smallest sway brace has an operating load of 7000 lb., a design travel of 8″ in either compression or extension, and a spring rate of 1000 lb. per inch.
The anticipated loads and movements exceed those of the largest standard PT&P sway brace; therefore, these sway braces required a custom design and fabrication. Each of the 48 sway braces are configured with a unique combination of spring coils, housings, and internal components to accommodate the non-standard loads and movements.
