There is provided a load-sharing bracing system for a floor, including a pair of joists having vertical side faces that are spaced-apart and configured to face each other. An x-shaped cross-brace assembly extends between the side faces of the joists. The assembly comprises a pair of brace members each having a pair of spaced-apart sides arranged perpendicular to the side faces of the joists. The assembly attaches to the joists in two ways: by fasteners driven comfortably through the wide face of the brace members and into the joists' faces, or into the joists' flanges in the case of an I-joist application; and by L-shaped brackets used to reinforce the assembly connection to the joists when one or two brace member legs are cut to provide passage for HVAC services. The L- shaped brackets connect the sides of the brace members to the side faces of the joists. Each bracket has a first part that abuts with and extends along one side of the brace members. Each bracket has a second part that abuts with and extends along the side face of one of the joists. A plurality of fasteners are arranged to partially extend through the first parts and the second parts of the brackets and extend into the brace member and joists, respectively.
