shear wall
English to Lithuanian
Tech/Engineering
Construction / Civil Engineering
A wall designed to resist lateral forces parallel to the plane of the wall (sometimes referred to as a vertical diaphragm).
In structural engineering, a shear wall is a structural system composed of braced panels (also known as shear panels) to counter the effects of lateral load acting on a structure. Wind and seismic loads are the most common loads that shear walls are designed to carry. Under several building codes, including the International Building Code (where it is called a braced wall line) and Uniform Building Code, all exterior wall lines in wood or steel frame construction must be braced. Depending on the size of the building some interior walls must be braced as well.
