The Southwest Missouri Code Officials are proud to present “APA – 2012 IRC Braced Walls” on Thursday, August 14th, 7:45am-noon. This seminar will be presented at the Springfield Botanical Center (2400 S. Scenic Ave, Springfield). The cost to attend is $40 for SMCO members and $55 for non SMCO members.
This seminar will cover the long history of bracing and how loads are handled through braced wall lines and braced wall panels. It will break down the general requirements of wall bracing and show how to use the tables within the 2012 IRC to determine if braced wall lines meet code requirements.
Because of the many options in the wall bracing section of the code, a “Simplified Method” of bracing has been created. This section of code, along with an alternate simplified method created by APA, will be demonstrated as a method for providing a bracing report to the builder and building officials.
Contact the Southwest Missouri Code Officials for more information (smcodeofficials@gmail.com).
