Description
 
An essential resource for the design, construction and inspection of wood-framed shear walls.

Wood-Framed Shear Wall Construction—An Illustrated Guide provides a wealth of information for carpenters, building inspectors, architecture and engineering students, building owners, and others interested in wood-framed construction. Shear walls are one of the most important structural components in wood-framed buildings. The author—a former carpenter—addresses many conditions that builders encounter in the field, using terms that will make sense to builders.

The first sections of this guide cover the basic principles of shear walls, including the five essential aspects of any shear wall. The majority of the book covers many situations carpenters encounter while building shear walls, proper ways to approach these situations, and methods to correct common problems. The last chapters present several advanced topics related to shear walls.
