Braced Wall Line (BWL) Worksheet

Preliminary CRC R602.10 screening worksheet based on the supplied Excel draft. Enter one braced wall line at a time, then add each braced panel's location and length.

Important: This tool is based only on the draft data supplied. Its numeric table is limited to 110 mph wind and wall-line lengths from 10–60 ft. It is not a complete CRC compliance determination. Confirm the adopted CRC edition, applicable R602.10 tables, wind/seismic criteria, adjustment factors, and all project-specific requirements.

1. Project and braced wall line

The source draft notes a 4 ft maximum offset and references R602.10.2.2.1 for braced-wall location. Verify the applicable code language and measurement method.

2. Braced panels on this line

For each panel, enter its distance from the left end of the BWL and its length. The tool checks the clear unbraced gaps and panel proximity to both ends.

The source draft says to use the more restrictive seismic table for longer runs, but the actual seismic table values were not included. For this reason, this worksheet does not calculate a seismic-table requirement or extrapolate beyond the supplied data.

4. Draft rule checklist

Checklist items are screening prompts transcribed or interpreted from the supplied draft, not a substitute for checking the full CRC text.
