63 Shearwall STRONG-WALL SHEARWALL RAISED FLOOR (-RF) Raised Floor walls are designed and tested for installation on top of raised wood floor systems. All 2nd Floor Applications must use the Raised Floor Models. Raised Floor walls are compatible with both solid sawn lumber and I-joist floor systems. Simpson SDS screws pre-installed in both the top and bottom of the wall allow for fast installation to the top plate and floor framing elements. When framing conditions necessitate this application, only the HUSC46 may be used with the Strong-Wall Shearwall for light duty door and window headers. With face nailing closer to the center of the carrying member and the double shear nailing feature, an HUSC46 hanger will achieve the loads listed in the Face Mount Hanger tables. Application is limited to the HUSC46. See page 69 for details. NOTE: When nailing into the carrying members end grain, the allowable load is 0.67 of the table load. CODE REF.: 1, 84, 121, 140 CODES: See page 12 for Code Listing Key Chart. The building designer shall verify that these details are consistent with the complete load path requirements of the structure. HUSC46 Typical Installation of HUSC46 Naming Scheme: SW24x8-RF Strong-Wall Raised Floor Width (in.) Nominal Height (ft.) NOTE: The Engineer of Record is responsible for concrete design. Additional 2x4 King Studs may be required for compression force from Strong-Wall above. See Structural Details available on our website. NOTE: Cut out subfloor for end post bearing plates. Additional bearing plates available for 1 subfloor. SW-TUD1KT STRONG-WALL SHEARWALL FOR 2nd FLOOR APPLICATIONS! Raised Floor (-RF) walls are code listed for use on the second floor of two-story wood light-frame construction. Simpson Strong-Tie recommends the Simpson Takeup Device, (SW-TUD1KT), be used at the 2nd floor to compensate for wood shrinkage and settlement due to dead load. 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.
