STRONG-WALL SHEARWALL
RAISED FLOOR 2nd FLOOR
The building designer shall verify that these details are consistent with the complete load path requirements of the structure.
1. 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 SSTB34. See SSTB anchor bolts, pages 33-34, for allowable
loads and installation. Alternate diameter anchorage may be required depending on load.
3. All thread rod not supplied with Raised Floor walls. Minimum ASTM A307 required.
Engineer of record must specify if high strength all-thread rod is required, depending on load.
4. All Raised Floor walls require 1 or 3" end distance from corner for end post bearing
plate. See details available on website.
5. Maximum shim height between Strong-Wall and top plates or header
is ". Shims of greater thickness will result in load reductions.
6. See allowable vertical load table below for Strong-Wall maximum
compression and tension capacities.
7. Capacities must be reduced as limited by anchor bolt capacities
for installations on CMU.

These allowable vertical loads are intended to aid the user in
correctly implementing the Strong-Wall Shearwall into the load path
of the structure. Load combinations that tend to cause compression
can be limited by perpendicular to grain interface issues, by buckling of the vertical members or by the bending and shear capacity
of the combined top plates. Loads that result in net uplift in the
boundary posts are limited by the value T
1
shown in the table.
