| Architecture: herringbone bridging |
A system of braces between joists to stiffen the joists, to hold them in place, and to distribute their load; these braces alternate in direction along the joists, giving rise to a herringbone-like pattern. Also called herring-bone strutting, cross bridging, diagonal bridging.
