Bracing open web joists in tilt up building @ demising wall

[jacob g]

hello all,

would the OWJ joists throughout a tilt up building need additional bracing in order to build a full height demising wall 38 foot from floor to underside of joist?

 

[DaveAtkins]

Yes, I recommend bracing from the joist bottom chord up to the roof diaphragm.

Joists are not intended to take loads in their weak axis so however you detail it, there needs to be a valid load path that doesn't involve the joists.
