1,This wall-bracing evaluation is based on the 2012 International Reeiderrtlal Code.The user Is responsible for ensuring that the project fits within the <br /> scope of the IRC and complies with the wall-bracing requirements of Sections 8802.10,8802.11 and 1O02.12 as applicable. <br /> 2.Ons-and two-family dwellings and townhouses in Seismic resign Categories A and B and one-and two-family dwellings in Seismic Design Category <br /> C are exempt from the seismic requirements of the IRC.The length of wall bracing shall be In accordance with the requirements of Table 8802.10.3(1) <br /> based on wird speed,including all applicable adjusbywnt factors. <br /> 3 Braced-wad lines using the continuous sheathing methods shall be constructed in accordance with the requirements of Sections 8802.10.42, <br /> ROM.10.8.4,and R002.10.7,as applicable. <br /> 4.Braced-wall ponds shall be located at each end of braced-wad Ones and may begin up to 10 feet from the end In accordance with Rgurs ROW.10.22. <br /> Caner construction for continuously sheathed mst wxls shall be In accordance with Section 8802.10.7. <br /> 5.The distance between braced wall panels shed not exceed 20 feat In accordance with Section RSMA 022. <br /> S.Braced-wad-11ne spacing shall not exceed 80 feet on center. <br /> 7.Interior braced-wallains spacirng is the greater of the distance between two adjacent braced-wall lines or the average of the distance as selected by the <br /> designer. <br /> 8 Refer to the for pre-engineered solutions when the <br /> required bracing amounts cannot be satisfied with prescriptive braced-wall panels.Simpson Strong-Tie®Wood and Steel Strong-WWW shearwalis <br /> may be considered equivalennt to the code braced-wall panel construction method WSP with gypsum board applied an the ureide. <br /> 9.Mixing of Intermittent bracing g rnethods within a braced-well line Is permitted only In Seismic Design Categories A and B and for detached dwellings in <br /> Seismic Design Category C.The length of bracing required for the braced-wad bra shelf be the highest bracing length calculated for each method uesd <br /> within the breoed-wall line. <br /> 10.Horbmnt l panel joUrts In braced-wall pends shall be blocked In accordance with Section Rt102.10.10. <br /> 11.Braced-wad lines shad have a minknum of two braced wall panels unless the provisions of Section 8802.10.2.3 are satisfied <br /> va kn 3.0.0 <br />
