The information in iBrace is referenced from AS1684.2 and the Building Code of Australia. Refer to these publications for more information or clarification of bracing calculations and procedures.
iBrace is built to round up the calculations to two decimal places and may tend to give a slightly higher amount of required resistance than actually needed. It’s better to have too much bracing than too little.
