T 1 r This wall-bracing evaluation Is based on the 2012 Intemetional Residential Code.The user Is responsible for ensuing that the project fits within the <br /> scope of the IRC and compiles with the wall-bracing requirements of Sections 8802.10,8802.11 and 8802.12 as applicable. <br /> 2.One-and two-family dwellings and townhoceea in Seismic Design Categories A and B and one-and two-family dwellings In Seismic Design Category <br /> C are exampt from the selsrnic requirements of the IRC.The length of wall bracing strati be In accordance wlth the requirements of Table 8802.10.3(1) <br /> based on wind speed,Including all applicable adjustment factors. <br /> 3.Braced-wad Ones using the continuous sheathing methods shell be constructed in accordance with the requirements of Sections R802.10A2, <br /> 8802.10.6.4,and 8802.10.7,as applicable. <br /> 4.Braced-wad panels shall be looted at each end of braced-wad Urns and may begin up to 10 feet from the and In accordance with Figure 8802.10.22. <br /> Corner construction for continuously sheathed methods shill be In accordance with Section 8602.10.7. <br /> *The distance between braced wad panels shad rot exceed 20 The in accordance with Semon 8602.102.2. <br /> 8.Braced-wad-dna spacing shell not exceed 80 fest on canter. <br /> 7.interior braced-well-line spacing Is the greater of the distance between two adjacent braosd-wall lutes or the average of the distance as selected by the <br /> designer. <br /> 8 Refer to the for prww gineered solutions when the <br /> required bracing amounts cannot be satiefled with prescriptive iced-wad panels.Simpson Strong-lie®Wood and Steel Strong-Wad®shearwcils <br /> may be considered equivalent to the code braced-wall panel construction,nail WSP with gypsum board applied on the Inside. <br /> 9.Mbdng of intermittent bracing methods within a traced-wall line is permitted any 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 line shall be the highest bracing length calculated for each method used <br /> within the brooed-wall line. <br /> 10.Horizontal panel joints In braced-wall panels shall be blocked In accordance with Section 8802.10.10. <br /> 11.Braced-wad Imes shad have a minimum of two braced wad panels unless the provisions of Section 8802.102.3 are satisfied. <br /> Venlon 3.0.0 <br />
