A large number of shear walls have been tested since LaboratoryReport 105, Plywood Shear Walls, was published by APA - TheEngineered Wood Association in 1965. This report summarizesthose tests, and also includes unblocked and double-sided shear walls, and panels over gypsum sheathing. Shear walls...

The cold-formed steel frame / wood panel shear wall system is a relatively new construction method, rooted from light wood framing concepts. Tests have shown that the seismic behaviour of these shear walls depends on their configuration and components. To date, design methods have largely been de...

for the panel multiplied by its large aspect ratio you will find the tension is the same as it would be globally. KootK said: We tend to always think in terms of things that are flexurally flexible rather than shear flexible. Shear flexible stuff like wood shear walls do this business...

Both of these woods can be found at flooring or decking dealers, and larger structural pieces are also not unheard of. In addition, all three of these woods have the added benefit of being highly rot resistant (but also troublesome in gluing!). 47.5—The World’s Strongest Wood (you ...
