Diagonal supports that keep a building frame from swaying sideways in wind or earthquakes.
Diagonal structural members or systems installed to resist lateral forces such as wind and seismic loads. Bracing provides stability to frames that would otherwise rack or sway under horizontal loading. Common types include cross-bracing, knee bracing, and eccentric bracing.
The engineer specified X-bracing in the end bays of the warehouse to transfer wind loads to the foundation without a shear wall.
