Diagonal strap bracing for ligth frame construction
Diagonal strap bracing for ligth frame construction
(OP)
Hi:
Does anyone have experience with diagonal strap bracing instalation in ligth gage steel framing construction?
I'm trying to find a method to get the proper tension of straps over 80 mm width. We have plenty experience with traditional tensioners but i couldn´t find any type of tensioner for tensioners over 40 mm. Gettin the proper tension is very important because we are in a high seismic area developing a mid rise condominium.

They have a software to help you design the bracing system. They also provide tables and capacity charts were you can calculator things by hand as well.
