Part 9
Bracing Course
Bracing Course
INVITATION: EARLY REVIEWERS WELCOME
I’m currently developing the Part 9 Bracing Course for code users who want to understand the deeper logic behind Subsection 9.23.13 — not just the requirements, but the reasoning, structure, and design process that underpin them.
The course is designed to build true lateral-bracing literacy: how the Rules work, how the Codes Compliance Pathways interact, and how to think through a whole-building bracing design in a way that maximizes the benefits of this prescriptive framework.
This material will also form the foundation for future development on this site, including AI-supported guidance and deeper integration with the Part 9 Bracing Calculator and other digital tools.
If you’re interested in reviewing early content and offering feedback as the course develops, I’d be glad to connect.
Early draft content can be reviewed here.
