Shear Wall Selection for Wood-Framed Buildings

On-Demand Webinar

From wall bracing to force transfer around openings (FTAO), there are many ways to secure the walls of a wood-framed building — but knowing which approach is right for your project isn't always straightforward. This webinar examines the full range of shear wall options, breaking down the pros and cons of each to help architects, builders, and engineers make informed structural decisions. Whether you're looking to better understand your structural engineer's process or explore alternatives to your usual approach, this session will help you communicate and collaborate more effectively on your next project.

What you’ll learn:

  • The key differences between common shear wall systems, including wall bracing and FTAO options

  • How to evaluate the pros and cons of each shear wall type for a given project

  • How structural shear wall decisions impact architectural design and ease of construction

  • How to move beyond the status quo and identify the best structural approach for wood-framed buildings

What you’ll earn

  • A downloadable certificate of completion is available after completing a brief quiz

  • Participants who complete the quiz qualify for 0.1 CEU from ICC

  • CEUs and certificate(s) received upon course completion are transferrable and may be applied towards PDHs or other general CEUs/certifications, such as PE
