GENERAL INFORMATION<br />
e) In many cases, several short runs occur one after the other. Based on previous requirements,<br />
each straight run requires a longitudinal brace when the adjacent short runs exceed the maximum<br />
offset length (ft.). When the adjacent short runs do not exceed the maximum offset length (ft.) the<br />
longitudinal braces can act as transverse braces as long as the allowable transverse brace spacing<br />
(Appendixes 1 & 2) is not exceeded.<br />
In the following layout, transverse braces are used as longitudinal braces when the straight runs<br />
are less than the maximum offset length (ft.). When a straight run exceeds the maximum offset<br />
length (ft.) additional braces are required.<br />
First Transverse Brace<br />
Second Transverse Brace<br />
Longitudinal<br />

Two braces may<br />
be required.<br />

Short run less<br />

Multiple offsets can be treated as a single run when the<br />
total offset is less than the maximum offset length (ft.).<br />
