Abstract
This thesis was written to address the fact that the International Residential Code (IRC 2012) offers little aid in the design of cold-formed steel construction when brick veneer is used in regions of higher seismic risk. Using the current provisions for wood light-frame construction when brick veneer is used (BV-WSP) as a template, a series of computer analyses were performed to determine required braced wall line lengths for cold-formed steel. These results were compiled into a table similar to the one for wood, IRC Table R602.10.6.5 (2012), and will be used to propose changes in the next version of the IRC.
