#REDIRECT Braced wall line
In structural engineering, a braced wall line or shear wall is a wall composed of braced panels (also known as shear panels) to counter the effects of lateral loads acting on a structure. Wind and seismic loads are the most common loads braced wall lines are designed to counteract. Under several building codes including the International Building Code and Uniform Building Code, all exterior wall lines in wood or steel frame construction must be braced. Depending on the size of the building some interior walls must be braced as well. A common method of constructing a braced wall line in wood frames is to create braced panels in the wall line using structural plywood sheathing with specific nailing at the edges and supporting framing of the panel. A more traditional method is to use let-in diagonal bracing throughout the wall line, but this method isn't viable for buildings with many openings for doors, windows, etc. Structural engineering
== Braced Wall Line? == I've never heard this term used to describe what I've always known as a shear wall. All of my references mentioned shear walls in their indices, but none mentioned braced walls. Since the ACI code speaks of structural walls, some of my concrete books reference that term... Considering the article's predominant focus on timber frame construction (where this term is more intuitively meaningful), I'm inclined to think that a braced wall line is in fact a type of shear wall rather than an entirely equivalent concept. Thus, I suggest we move the article to shear wall and offer a redirect from braced wall line. Any takers or critics? --User:Spindustrious 08:58, 13 Mar 2005 (UTC) The reason I wrote the article under Braced Wall Lines, and redirected from Shear Wall is because that is the term in vogue by the International Building Code or IBC. Since the IBC is predominantly becoming the code of choice in areas throughout North America (perhaps elsewhere I'm not sure) than it makes sense to use the terms that the most current code uses. I hoped to keep confusion to a minimum by using the redirects and stating they were the same concept in the article. User:SDG 16:37, 14 Mar 2005 (UTC) :I agree with User:Spindustrious, that the article "shear wall" should be created, instead of being redirected here. By all means this article, "braced wall line", can coexist with the new "shear wall" article, but it should play a diminuitve role to "shear wall". :The braced wall line term may be used in the IBC, but I'm a civil engineering student now and have, like Spindustrious, never heard of 'braced wall line'. Over the next 50 years I'll be using 'shear wall', like everyone else has been doing in recent history. Wikipedia should follow this popular trend and use 'shear wall'. --User:Commander Keane 09:46, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)
