1.This wall-bracing evaluation is based on the 2012 International Residential Code.The user is responsible for ensuring that the project fits within the �I §cope of the IRC and complies with the wall-bracing requirements of Sections R602.10,8602.11 and R602.12 as applicable. 2.One-and two-family dwellings and townhouses in Seismic Design Categories A and B and one-and two-family dwellings in Seismic Design Category C are exempt from the seismic requirements of the IRC.The length of wall bracing shall be in accordance with the requirements of Table R602.10.3(1) based on wind speed,including all applicable adjustment factors. 3.Braced-wall lines using the continuous sheathing methods shall be constructed in accordance with the requirements of Sections R602.10.4.2. R602.10.6.4,and 8602.10.7,as applicable. 4.Braced-wal panels shall be located at each end of braced-well lines and may begin u to 10 feet from the end in accordance with Figure R602.10.2.2. Y 9 P �g Corner construction for continuously sheathed methods shall be in accordance with Section R602.10.7. 5.The distance between braced wall panels shall not exceed 20 feet in accordance with Section R602.10.2.2. 6.Braced-wall-line spacing shall not exceed 60 feet on center. 7.Interior braced-wall-line spacing is the greater of the distance between two adjacent braced-wall lines or the average of the distance as selected by the designer. B.Refer to the Strono-WaU@ Bracing Selector thttp://www2.stronatie.com/webaor)slstrongwalibracinuselecto for pre-engineered solutions when the required bracing amounts cannot be satisfied with prescriptive braced-wall panels.Simpson Strong-Tie®Wood and Steel Strong-Walla shearwalls may be considered equivalent to the code braced-wall panel construction method WSP with gypsum board applied on the inside. 9.Mixing of intermittent bracing methods within a braced-wall line is permitted only in Seismic Design Categories A and B and for detached dwellings in Seismic Design Category C.The length of bracing required for the braced-wall line shall be the highest bracing length calculated for each method used within the braced-wall line. 10. Horizontal panel joints in braced-wall panels shall be blocked in accordance with Section R602.10.10. 11. Braced-wall lines shall have a minimum of two traced wall panels unless the provisions of Section R602.10.2.3 are satisfied.
