Best Answer

I have to answer this one every time I change my insurers I live in a house of crossed braced construction.

The Best way to do this is imagine you are looking at the front of a terraced house. Both walls shared with next door are poured concrete my first floor --floor was built off site then dropped in to rest on RSJ's (now comes the cross bracing) which is concrete pre = stessed Pearlings or Lintle's craned in to form the roof bracing the building together .Standard timber felt n tiles over the top .

Internal walls are wood studs again built off site and packed up from the bottom.

The main front n rear is timber framed from the inside ===Plaster board ==studding==insulation==felt== then various tiles broslys (not spelt right)or a brick effect tile all being concrete.

For insurance needs, you cannot have timber cladding on a wooden frame so if you have this look to changing it PVC cladding is fine?? I have rendered the ground floor of mine and left brosly's on the first.

What is a construction bracing connection?

A bracing connection is the fixing that holds bracing in place and to transfer loads into the bracing. Bracing holds the structure stable by transferring sideways loads (ie: not gravity, but wind or earthquake loads) down to the ground. It helps keep the structure upright and square when these loads come on to the building.

What are the best defenses against an earthquake?

The best defenses are shear core, base isolators, a deep foundation, shutters and cross bracing cross bracing is a system utilized to reinforce building structures in which diagonal supports intersect. Cross bracing can increase a building's capability to withstand seismic forces from an earthquake. Shutters will block out any object that will come in and will stop glass from shattering which could cause injuries or death base isolators will help a building withstand an earthquake as they sway the building the way an earthquake is going and bounces the building up and down. A deep foundation will make it more harder for a severe earthquake to take the building down and in a smaller magnitude earthquake it will hardly affect the building.
