ABSTRACT:
A truss-like brace assembly for a wall of a building has a peripheral frame defined by a pair of stiles, a top member and a bottom member, where diagonal braces and horizontal cross-braces triangulate the frame. The brace assembly is close fit in a cavity in the wall (10, 110) and the stiles, top member and bottom member are fixed to the adjacent studs, top wall plate and bottom plate to provide structural bracing in the longitudinal plane of the wall.
