The user is responsible for ensuring that the project fits within the scope ofthe IRC and <br />complies with the wall -bracing requirements of Sections R60210. R602.11 and R60212 as applicable. <br />1. One- and two-family dwellings and townhouses in Seismic Design Category D0. 01, or D2 are subject to the wind and seismic requirements of the IRC. The length of <br />wall bracing shall be the greater of that required by Table R602.10.3(1) based on wind speed. and Table R602.10.3(3) based on seismic design category, including all <br />applicable adjustment factors. <br />2. Braced -wall lines using the continuous sheathing methods shall be constructed in accordance with the requirements of Sections R602.10.42 R60210.6.4, and <br />R60210.7as applicable. <br />3. Braced -wall panels shall be located at each end of braced=wall lines. Braced -wall panels constructed of Methods WSP. BV-WSP. or continuous sheathing methods <br />may begin up to 10 feet from each end when the additional requirements of Section R602.10.221 are satisfied. <br />4. The distance between braced wall panels shall not exceed 20 feet in accordance with Section R602.1022. <br />5. 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. <br />6. Refer to the Strong-Wafs gracing Selecforfor pre-engineered solutions when the required bracing amounts cannot be satisfied with prescriptive braced -wall panels. <br />Simpson Strang -Tie® Wood, Strong -Wall® Site Built Portal Frame System and Steel Strong -Wale shearwalls may be considered equialent to the code braced -wall <br />panel cunstnlclion method WSP with gypsum board applied on the inside. <br />7. Braced -wall -line spacing shall not exceed 25 feet on center in each story in bath longitudinal and transverse directions in accordance with Table R60210.1.3. <br />However- the spacing between two adjacent braced wall lines shall not exceed 35 feet an center in order to accommodate one single room when the provisions in <br />Table R60210.1.3 are satisfied. <br />8. Horizontal panel joints in braced -wall panels shall be blocked in accordance with Section R60210.4-4 <br />9. Braced -wall lines shall have a minimum of two braced wall panels unless the provisions of Section R602.10.2.3 are satisfied. <br />WARNINGS <br />1. For buildings in SDC DO, 01, and D2 the user must ensure braced wall line spacing greater than 25 feet satisfies the requirements of Table R602.10.1.3. <br />2 The wall bracing provisions of the IRC may not be used in areas where wind design is required in accordance with Figure R301.2(4)B or where the ultimate design <br />wind speed shown on Figure R3012(4)A equals or exceeds 140 miles per hour. <br />3. Different intemudent bracing methods are not permitted to be mixed within a braced wall line for Townhouses in Seismic Design Category C and all stmctures in <br />Seismic Design Category D0. Dt. or D2 in accordance with Section R60210A.1 item #3. <br />www.strorlgtie.corNwebappslbracec[Wall This is page 2 of 2 <br />
