Shorbrace

In construction, a shorbrace, also known as a diagonal brace or a cross brace, is a structural element used to provide lateral stability and support to vertical members or scaffolding systems. It is typically made of steel and is installed diagonally across two vertical members to prevent them from swaying or buckling under loads or external forces. Shorbraces are commonly used in construction projects, such as formwork systems, scaffolding, and temporary structures, to ensure structural stability and safety. They help distribute and transfer loads and forces, enhancing the overall strength and rigidity of the construction system.
