The contractor shall keep a bracing plan on site during all masonry construction. Bracing plans shall consider wind loads, initial and intermediate masonry strengths, and the contractor's ability to evacuate the site. Construction bracing for walls within a distance less than their height from adjoining properties or other unprotected and uncontrolled areas shall be designed for code prescribed wind loads and the bracing plan shall be signed and sealed by a licensed professional engineer. Construction bracing for walls may be designed using reduced loading in accordance with Section 1618.
