R602.12.2

Section R602.12.2 is titled 'Sheathing materials' and covers requirements for wall construction. The requirement to limit sheathing material to those listed in this section for use with the simplified wall bracing method, and disallowance for mixing of methods is established. The purpose of this section is to prevent structural failure, and offer a simpler method for the design and construction of wall bracing for buildings that meet specific criteria.

The model shows a sheet of wood structural panel and structural fiberboard sheathing.
