Abstract
A method is presented for calculating the required brace stiffness and strength to limit torsional buckling deformation in cold-formed steel wall stud columns. The bracing (bridging) design method utilizes recent insight from classical stability solutions that define twist of singly and doubly-symmetric columns with an initial twist imperfection as a function of column compressive load. A wall stud design example is provided.
