Analysis of Load Capacity of Wedge Joint System Support without Bracing Members
This experimental study analyzed the reduction of the load capacity of the system support according to the uninstall bracing members by loading the ultimate load to the 3 - story system support assembly with the presence of bracing members as the key parameter. The load capacity of the 3-story specimen without bracing members is 38.4% of that of the 3-story specimen with bracing members. It is necessary to accurately reflect the installation plan of the bracing members and examine the structural safety of the system support assembly, not a single member, because there is a significant decrease in the load capacity of the system support assembly according to the uninstall of the bracing members.
