Wall bracing attachments to the top of a column are expressed in one of three different options. A common choice is the direct attachment to the web of the knee on the column. This is achieved by the use of two bracing rods of ¾” or smaller. Another process uses the interior flange of the straight column for a connection to a 7/8″ or larger rod. Still another example of wall-bracing attachment at the top of the column is the bolting of a 7/8″ or larger rod to the top of a tapered frame column. The choice of any one of the three column and rod connections has to be double checked, once installed, to make sure that the bracing rods are tight to prevent noise and building movement.
