62 Shearwall STRONG-WALL SHEARWALL Standard Strong-Wall Shearwall U.S. Patents 5,706,626; 6,006,487, 6,109,850, 6,327,831, and 6,643,986 The building designer shall verify that these details are consistent with the complete load path requirements of the structure. Naming Scheme 8' to 10' SW24x8 Strong-Wall Width (in.) Nominal Height (ft.) CODES: See page 12 for Code Listing Key Chart. The Strong-Wall Shearwall can be installed around window and door openings, on garage wing walls, interior walls or any other locations where increased lateral resistance is required. Strong-Wall Shearwalls can reduce the amount of wall space required for shearwalls, allowing for more windows and doors in house designs. Standard models are used for applications where the wall will bear directly on concrete. Simply fasten the bottom of the wall to the embedded bolts with the provided hardware. The top of the wall attaches with pre-installed SDS screws to double top plates or can fasten to various header materials. PREFABRICATED The high-strength frame comes with the sheathing and holdowns pre-attached. Additional installation hardware is included. EASY TO INSTALL Reusable templates locate the required holdown and mudsill anchor bolts accurately in the foundation. The walls are then placed over the anchor bolts followed by a simple top and bottom plate attachment. Use 1 wrench for nut. Use wrench for nut. INSTALLATION GUIDE Attached to every wall. STATE-OF-THE-ART TESTING Third-party documentation of our cyclic testing verifies the Strong-Wall Shearwalls high design loads. QUALITY ASSURANCE No-Equal quality controlled manufacturing reduces inspection problems commonly faced with site built shearwalls. SUPPORT AND SERVICE Simpson provides the best engineering technical support and experienced field representation available to assist you. NOTE: The Engineer of Record is responsible for concrete design. Check our website for installation guide or structural details: www.strongtie.com For holdowns, anchor bolt nuts should be finger-tight plus to turn with a hand wrench, with consideration given to possible future wood shrinkage. Care should be taken to not over-torque the nut. Impact wrenches should not be used. Naming Scheme 12' SW24x12x6 Strong-Wall Width (in.) Nominal Height (ft.) Nominal Wall Thickness (in.)

For plywood shear panel, add P to model name (e.g. SW24x8P), and multiply the table loads by 0.88. 2. For two-pour applications, use the SSTB34. See the SSTB anchor bolts, pages 33-34, for allowable loads and installation. Alternate diameter anchorage may be required depending on load. 3. Recommended minimum x 12" mudsill anchor. 4. Maximum shim height between Strong-Wall and top plates or header is ". Shims of greater thickness will result in load reductions. 5. See allowable vertical load table on page 64 for Strong-Wall maximum compression and tension capacities. 6. Standard walls may be installed with sheathing facing inside or outside. 7. Capacities must be reduced as limited by anchor bolt capacities for installations on CMU. NOTE FOR STANDARD AND RAISED FLOOR WALLS: Walls may also be used in 2x6 wall framing. Install sheathing side at exterior wall line and add furring to interior framing side. Drilling or cutting holes in Strong-Wall Shearwalls is not allowed except as shown in the Allowable Hole Chart attached to each wall.
