Definition:
In structural Engg, A shear wall is a wallcomposed of braced panels to counter theeffects of lateral load
(seismic & wind) acting on a structure.

1. There are typically wood frame,stud walls are used in the
construction of shear wall, coveredwith structural sheathing material.
2. If they are designed &constructed properly, they will
have the strength and stiffness to
resist the horizontal forces.

Functions of shear walls:
Most provide Necessary lateral strength toresist horizontal forces, when shear walls arestrong enough they will transfer thesehorizontal forces to the next element.

Strengthen material:
According to 1994 uniform building code:
Sheathing Material : gypsum wallboard,cement plaster, fiberboard, plywood &oriented stand board.
Fasteners Material: staples, screws & nails.
