[color red]bracing of steel pipe used in an existing wood house[/colo 1

[ckar]

i need to add a steel beam supported on steel pipes to support the roof of a house. the steel pipe has to go through two floors all the way to the basement for 28 feet. how can i brace this pipe at each floor?

Simply support it by tying into the floor/ceiling diaphragm at each level.

so how do you do that?

 

[MikeHalloran]

In this case, maybe simple straps from the framing to the bolts in the intermediate flange joints that you need in order to get the pipe into the holes?
