Abstract

The sheds, usually in metal structure, are commonly used for commercial or industrial establishments. Such structures can be designed under the laws established by the Ultimate Limit State (ULS) parameters, Service Limit Status (SLS) or Usage (SLU), even though many of them may be subject to large displacements caused by vibrations, static loads or, even the combination between both. The own weight's structure and the wind dynamic load combined is a perfect example how these structures are subjected to combined forces. Thus, alternatives to control or minimize the excessive displacement are needed. There are several methods of controlling vibration, and this paper presents the bracing system. Shed and 3 different bracing systems were designed, single diagonal, double diagonal and inverted V. These systems are designed to resist vertical and horizontal actions, and its main function is to provide stability to structures when they suffer from wind load action. In this paper NBR 6123/1988 was used to compute wind load. Numerical calculations were carried out in
