Web Plane & Gable End Frame Bracing

  • The building designer should specify permanent building stability bracing on the construction documents. 
  • If the building designer does not provide this bracing on the construction documents, the IRC 2006 specifies that BCSI must be followed. 
  • Wind and seismic loads applied to the gable frame laterally need to be resisted as shown in Figure 4.
