Part two of this five-part wall bracing series picks up with an in-depth look at braced wall panel options, covering all 12 intermittent and four continuous bracing methods prescribed by code. From there, the webinar walks you through the step-by-step process for determining the required length of bracing to resist wind and, where applicable, seismic forces. Whether you're new to wall bracing design or looking to sharpen your code knowledge, this webinar provides a clear and practical framework for applying bracing requirements correctly.
What you’ll learn:
The 12 code-prescribed intermittent bracing methods and when each is applicable
The four code-prescribed continuous bracing methods and how they differ from intermittent options
How to determine the required length of wall bracing for wind and seismic conditions
Braced wall panel placement requirements and how to apply them on a project
