Abstract
A light-frame shear wall for resisting lateral forces includes a frame wall, shear reinforcement structure, and sheathing. The frame wall includes a top plate, a sill, a first stud interconnecting the top plate and the sill and a second stud interconnecting the top plate and the sill. The frame wall has a cavity bounded by the top plate, the sill, the first stud, and the second stud. The shear reinforcement structure resists lateral forces experienced by the frame wall. The shear reinforcement structure is disposed in the cavity of the frame wall. The shear reinforcement structure is attached to the first stud and the second stud. The shear reinforcement structure includes a shear member arranged to resist the lateral forces experienced by the frame wall. Sheathing is connected to the frame wall and the shear reinforcement member for supporting the shear wall against shear loads.
