When piping or ductwork is placed in or partly in an exterior wall or interior load-bearing wall, necessitating cutting, drilling or notching of the top plate by more than 50 percent of its width, a galvanized metal tie not less than 0.054 inch thick (1.37 mm) (16 ga) and 1 1 / 2 inches (38 mm) wide shall be fastened across and to the plate at ...
Braced wall panels shall be distributed and installed in accordance with Figures R602.10.3 (3), R602.10.3 (4) and R602.10.3 (5). A minimum of one-half the required bracing amount for each rectangle side should be located on exterior walls within 8 feet (2438 mm) of the location of the rectangle side.
Design in accordance with Section R301, Design equivalent to the analysis basis of the provisions in Sections R602.10.2, R602.10.3, and R602.10.5, including determination of design loads, design unit shear values, and bracing amounts.
The total lateral force shall be distributed to the various vertical elements of the lateral force-resisting system in proportion to their rigidities, considering the rigidity of the horizontal bracing system or diaphragm. Rigid elements assumed not to be a part of the lateral force-resisting system are permitted to be incorporated into ...
Specification of Performance Criteria: Metal buildings are relatively flexible structures in comparison to conventional steel framed buildings. Metal building horizontal and vertical
All edges of panel-type wall bracing required from Tables R602.10.1 and R602.10.3 shall be attached to framing or blocking, except GB bracing horizontal joints shall not be required to be blocked when joints are finished.
Selection of Structural Shapes. The most common shapes used for horizontal bracing are single angles and WT-shapes. Single angles are the most economical shape for resist-ing small and medium loads, because WT-shapes must be split from W-shapes and straightened by the fabricator.
