Abstract

See full text

A wall panel is configured as a load-bearing structure for supporting vertical loading in a building. The wall panel forms a frame with first and second faces configured to receive sheathing and has thickness defined between the first and second faces. The wall panel includes a plurality of vertical load-bearing columns centrally disposed between the first and second faces of the wall panel frame. A load distribution member is disposed at the top of the wall panel and is coupled to the load-bearing columns, which are supported at the bottom of the wall panel by a lower member. A plurality of sheathing supports are disposed on opposite sides of the load bearing columns, and each includes an attachment surface disposed at a distance from the load-bearing column. The attachment surfaces define the respective faces of the wall panel frame and are configured to hold the sheathing.
