Brace angle is located at the top edge of the eave girt and holds the bottom of the roof panel, fastened to top of eave girt.

• A. Eave angle
• B. End wall parts
• C. Holden column
• D. Brace angle

Answer: (D)

The key idea is identifying what component actually holds and aligns the bottom edge of a roof panel at the eave. A brace angle is that small angled strap that ties the roof panel to the top of the eave girt, providing a secure connection and helping transfer loads from the panel into the structural frame. It keeps the panel from moving or buckling at the eave, maintains proper alignment, and helps resist wind forces that could lift or shift the edge of the panel. That’s precisely what the description is describing: it sits at the top edge of the eave girt and fastens to the top of the girt to hold the bottom of the roof panel.

Other terms don’t fit this exact role. An eave angle is a different trim piece used at the eave edge, not the component that secures the panel to the girt. End wall parts refer to components used at the ends of the building, not the eave connection. Holden or holding columns aren’t the item described here.
