In accordance with TMS 602/ACI 530.1/ASCE 6 Section 3.3E, the contractor shall design, provide, and install bracing that will assure stability of all masonry during construction. 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. Such reduced loading shall only be permitted when an action plan meeting the requirements of Section 1618.3 is provided and maintained at the site.
