The next step is to secure the floor joists to the top plate of the cripple wall. A 90-degree metal strap (A35 Shear Angle) is available, again through Simpson Strong-Tie, for this purpose.

The benchmark specimen exhibited both flexure and shear related damage, whereas the governing displacement mechanism for the retrofitted walls was rocking at the wall-to-foundation interface. As ...

Shear panels refer to structural panels that make up exterior walls. They provide protection from the lateral forces of earthquakes. They are normally constructed by nailing 1/2-inch plywood to ...

The tests demonstrated that shear walls reinforced with 100-ksi rebar can withstand very large lateral deformations without significant strength loss.

There is a growing interest in using coupled composite plate shear walls/ concrete-filled (CPSW/CF) for high-rise building construction, particularly to optimize the design for wind and/or seismic ...
