I was worried when I read a bunch of stuff about braced wall panels because I didn't quite understand what they were. Turns out I don't need to be worried about it at all: exterior concrete walls.

This video is NOT about wall bracing. It's about navigating the sections of the code that refer to wall bracing requirements. It's not about building. It's about paperwork.

unless you're an engineer you shouldn't be designing bracing

What about a 2' bump out in regards to the BWP and Bwl? I have a 2' bump out that is 40% of one side of the home. Been told this causes issues with wind resistance and seismic loads yet there is only one door and one small window in the whole 33' of this side of the home. it is a 2 story bump out. thanks!!!

so in your example with the 4' offset, if x axis is 30' long and y access has the 2 4' offsets and the longest length is 24' and the shortest is 16" do you calculate the length of y as 20' where the imaginary braced wall line would be? or is it calculated as 24' on the long side and 16' on the shorter side? or is that all saying we can just group all walls in an 8' depth?

At about slide 72 I stopped following you. What is the point of all the calculations - what is the goal? There is something missing in the middle of the explanations. I'm trying to size and add my braced panels in a house design so that I can locate my windows, and still don't know how to do it. Take an actual house design (or three) and do the calculations to show where the bracing must be....Maybe it's in the next video...?

Depends on seismic and wind, but r602.10 covers it. Basically you need bwp at each end, exceptions for CS methods.. they must start within 10'. And 20' max between panels. Consult the charts in 602.10.3 for your design and they will tell you minimum total length of panel required.
