bridging

Isaac Kremer/ January 14, 2018/ / 0 comments

A brace, or series of braces, placed between joists, studs, or other structural members. Block bridging consists of short vertically positioned blocks of wood between floor joists, or the like. Cross bridging consists of metal straps or small pieces of wood that cross each other diagonally between joists. Bridging, in general, serves to stiffen structural members and distribute the load. (Phillips, 1994)
