unconnected leg : The leg which is not connected
7 Aplly lateral loads for plan Horizontal members , to support live load & zero for other memb
8 Block shear is calculated bor both legs , considering change in bolt location from tip
9 Bracing resistance offered is the resistance offered by the member to main member
Bracing resistance required is the resistance required to consider the lateral support
10 while calculating diagonal member length, consider cl 4.5.2.1
