Shear Walls
It is a framed wall. It is designed to resist lateral forces. This lateral force comes from exterior walls, floor, and roofs to ground foundation. The usage of the shear wall is important, especially in large and high-rise buildings. It is Typically constructed from materials like concrete or masonry. It has an excellent structural system to resist earthquake. It provides stiffness in the direction. The construction and implementation are easy in shear walls. It is located symmetrically to reduce ill effects of a twist. Shear wall doesn’t exhibit any stability problem.
