what is SHEAR WALL ? why and where it is provided.
Answer Posted / r.bharathi murugan
A shear wall is a wall which is designed to resist shear,
the lateral force which causes the bulk of damage in
earthquakes. Many building codes mandate the use of shear
walls to make homes safer and more stable, and learning
about shear walls is an important part of an architectural
education. Architects are obliged to think about shear walls
and other safety features when they design a structure, so
that they can accommodate the walls to make the structure
sound while also aesthetically pleasing.
