M F S V F A M WLH M F S V F A: The Brace Design Is Adequate

This document summarizes the design of a handrail and balusters based on AISC 360-05 and ACI 318-05 codes. It provides the material properties, dimensions, and loading criteria used. It then shows calculations to check the capacity of the handrail and balusters against bending, shear, and concrete breakout/pryout strengths, finding them to be satisfactory in all cases. Key inputs include a 1.5" handrail pipe with 35 ksi yield stress, 1.25" baluster pipes, 48" handrail span, 36" baluster height, and 50 plf or 200 lb point load design criteria.
