Wall Bracing Examples in High Seismic SDC D0–D2 Regions

On-Demand Webinar

This webinar is the fifth and final installment in a five-part series on wall bracing. Using the 2018 International Residential Code (IRC) as a guide, this session walks participants through the wall bracing design procedure step by step with fully worked-out examples. Discussion topics include hybrid solutions and additions, giving viewers practical tools to reinforce and apply their understanding of wall bracing concepts.

What you’ll learn:

  • How to apply the 2018 IRC design procedure to real-world wall bracing scenarios

  • How to work through wall bracing calculations using fully developed examples

  • How to evaluate and implement hybrid approaches to wall bracing solutions

What you’ll earn

  • A downloadable certificate of completion is available after completing a brief quiz

  • Participants who complete the quiz qualify for 0.1 ICC CEU

  • CEUs and certificate(s) received upon course completion are transferrable and may be applied towards PDHs or other general CEUs/certifications, such as PE
