Because the strut assembly consists of basically two rods joined by a structural steel member, once the strut’s overall length is established, it will not change during operation. Consequently, loads applied in either direction will be counter-balanced by the strut.

A sway brace is a device that is recommended for controlling vibration, absorbing shock loadings, guiding or restraining the movement of pipe resulting from thermal expansion, and bracing a pipe line against sway. They contain springs that provide a restraint force in both a tension and compression mode.
