Shear walls are vertical elements of the horizontal force resisting system. They are typically. wood frame stud walls covered with a structural sheathing material like plywood. When the sheathing is properly fastened to the stud wall framing, the shear wall. can resist forces directed along the length of the wall. When shear walls are. designed and constructed properly, they will have the strength and stiffness to. resist the horizontal forces. (Fig.
