Installing Window in shear braced stud wall
Installing Window in shear braced stud wall
(OP)
I want to install a window in my garage wall. The stud wall has diagonal shear bracing, I need t remove the brace to install the window, how would I compensate for the loss of shear brace?

I like to debate structural engineering theory -- a lot. If I challenge you on something, know that I'm doing so because I respect your opinion enough to either change it or adopt it.

I would not worry about losing the brace.
