10.1.1.3 Partition Bracing
JUMP TO FULL CODE CHAPTER
In exit corridors, the tops of partitions that extend only to the ceiling line have lateral bracing.
For conforming buildings, the evaluator may consider this condition as mitigated, and no calculations are necessary. Partitions extending only to ceilings may overturn or buckle due to the lack of bracing.
