Slab = “Diaphragm” Brace prevents X-direction Movement of this point
Slab = “Diaphragm” Brace prevents X-direction Movement of this point Y-direction Movement of this point
Slab = “Diaphragm” Brace prevents X-direction Movement of this point Y-direction Movement of this point Slab is rigid in X-Y Plane. Slab is connected to every other point
Slab = “Diaphragm” Braced Braced Braced Braced Braced Braced Braced Slab is rigid in X-Y Plane. Slab is connected to every other point. Therefore: Slab + braced points = Every column is braced. Braced
