different bolt sizes at each end of vertical brace

different bolt sizes at each end of vertical brace
is it acceptable to use different bolt sizes at each end of vertical brace (3/4" dia bolts at one end and 1" dia bolts at other end)?
thanks,

check out our whitepaper library.
i don't think there is a code provision that would prevent you from doing that.  i would probably avoid doing it just on general principle.  however there are times when the upper end of a brace has different conditions which may require a different bolt pattern or size.
thanks rarmbj. what requires different bolt size is different condition as you indicated.
