R602.10.6.4

Section R602.10.6.4 is titled 'Method CS-PF: Continuously sheathed portal frame' and covers requirements for wall construction. The requirement to construct method CS-PF braced wall panels in accordance with a figure and table in this code, and for such method to be limited to four panels within any braced wall line is established. The purpose of this section is to prevent structural failure.

The model resembles the cross-referenced figure with a single method CS-PF braced wall panel, a concrete foundation, no pony wall, and method CS-WSP being used for the rest of the braced wall line.
