It helps the user create detailed reports of the appropriate seismic bracingcomponents and TIFF files for CAD use. It calculates the correct bracing loads per NFPA 13 guidelines, UniformBuilding Code (UBC) and International Building Code (IBC). Also, to help ensure users are following the latest codes,standards, and product requirements, TOLBrace software also includes an automatic update feature.TOLBrace softwareassists fire sprinklersystem designers in: NFPA 13, 1999, 2002, 2007, 2010 & 2013 Seismic force factor calculations (Fp) Factory Mutual Zone of influence calculations Uniform Building Code Sway brace orientation and angle selection International Building Code Structural attachment of sway braces National Building Code of Canada Brace material selection C alifornia Office of Statewide HealthPlanning & Development (OSHPD) A ppropriate selection of UL listed and FMapproved sway brace components reating a submittal sheet with all relevant Cinformation with the click of a mouse Available in English, Spanish, and KoreanTOLBrace follows therequirements of:For additional support,contact your TOLCO seismic bracing specialist at:Phone: 800-786-5266Email: SeismicQuotes@Eaton.comEmail: TolcoSupport@Eaton.comTo learn more, visitEaton.com/TOLCO
