Bracing at 45 degrees
Wind pushing on the house which we can calculate a maximum wind force for the total n categories
using formula total racking force formula which is the total racking force on one side of the house is
the area of elevation multiplied by the maximum wind pressure for the wind classification
Generally, use N2
Calculations given from wind tunnel tests - Table 8.2 where a house has a combination of a vertical
wall and sloping roof
Area calculation top half of the vertical wall plus the roof gave total of 90 squared of wind pushing
on, pressure out of 8.2 total racking force of 63 then we looked at how much brace will give up the
resistance of wind which was 3 divided total racking forces by value of one brace to give total
numbers of brace
cannot over brace the house
