7.5 Horizontal Bracing

California Administrative Code 2019 > 6 Seismic Evaluation Procedures for Hospital Buildings > 7 Procedures for Diaphragms > 7.5 Horizontal Bracing
JUMP TO FULL CODE CHAPTER

Horizontal bracing forms a complete system of adequate capacity.

For conforming buildings, the evaluator may consider this condition as mitigated, and no calculations are necessary. The deficiency is an incomplete or inadequate horizontal bracing system. Evaluate the horizontal bracing system for completeness of the system and its ability to gather all tributary forces and deliver them to the walls or frames.
