SHEARWALLS PRESCRIPTIVE DESIGN GUIDE T-SWPDG10 2010 SIMPSON STRONG-TIE COMPANY INC.
A Basic Interpretation of the Code
WHAT ARE BRACED WALLS AND WHY ARE THEY NEEDED?
Model building codes require all exterior walls of a non-engineered
or conventionally designed wood framed structure to be braced
against lateral loads from wind or earthquakes. Depending on
the configuration of the structure, wall bracing may also be
required for some interior walls.
In wood frame construction, a braced wall panel is a designated
wall section in which the framing members are constructed to
resist the lateral racking forces created by wind or seismic loading.
Braced wall panels are generally required near each end of a wall
line and at least 25' on center (see Figure 1). Designated wall
bracing must also make up a minimum amount of the overall
braced wall line based on several factors including wind speed,
seismic design category, exterior veneers and construction
method used.
The building codes define eight construction methods that may
be used to build a braced wall panel. The required minimum
length of a braced wall panel generally ranges from 4' to 8' of
wall with no openings. A few examples are 1x4 continuous let-in
bracing or approved metal straps, wood-structural-panel sheathing
(see Figure 2), portland cement plaster, and gypsum board.
In some cases the available wall length may be less than what is
needed for these construction methods, such as at garage door or
large window and door openings. Further, openings in a wall may
not allow enough space for the total length of wall bracing required.
ARE THERE ANY ALTERNATIVES?
In areas where window or door openings do not provide enough
space to put a standard panel, the building codes allow for alternate
braced wall panels and portal-frame applications to be site built to
fit a narrower wall space in some applications. Minimum lengths
vary depending on the alternate method used. In addition, specific
requirements for holdowns, mudsill anchors, header attachments,
and minimum sheathing thickness and fastening must be followed.
Figure 3 highlights one alternate braced-wall method. The IRC
also provides separate bracing requirements for homes which
are continuously sheathed with OSB, plywood or structural
fiberboard except at seismic with masonry veneer conditions.
When continuously sheathed, braced-wall-panel lengths may be
reduced depending on the size of adjacent openings. Reference
the governing design code for more information.
ARE THERE ANY OTHER ALTERNATIVES?
Move or re-size window or door opening to meet the wider
braced-wall requirements.
Hire a design professional to provide an engineered solution.
Use a code listed shearwall product that meets the
intent of the code while providing a narrow wall solution
such as a Simpson Strong-Tie
Wood Strong-Wall
or
Steel Strong-Wall
.
The building codes give Building Officials the authority to approve
alternate materials, designs and methods of construction that
comply with the intent of the provisions of the code and are at
least the equivalent to those prescribed in the code.
All Strong-Wall shearwalls in this guide are ICC-ES listed for
use as wall bracing except balloon-framed panels. Balloon-frame
applications for tall walls up to 20' tall are designed to provide
equivalent performance to a two-story braced-wall-panel application.

How To Use This Design Guide
STEP 1 DETERMINE REQUIRED WALL BRACING
You first need to choose which wall lines will be used as braced wall lines. The braced-wall-line locations need to meet the spacing
requirements and allowable offsets defined in the code.
Then, determine the length of wall bracing required for each braced wall line. The required length of wall bracing along each braced wall line
shall be the greater of that required by the design wind speed or Seismic Design Category (SDC) per Section R602.10.1.2 of the 2009 IRC.
The length of bracing required is also based on the wall bracing construction method, presence of masonry veneer, and applicable adjustment
factors. Simpson Strong-Tie offers our FREE Wall-Bracing-Length Calculator that is simple to use. Visit www.strongtie.com/wallbracing
to try it. Consult with your local Building Official for specific local requirements.
Where the available wall length is less than the required length of wall bracing, select a Strong-Wall
locations minimum and fully grouted where
required by Code.
2. For additional Steel Strong-Wall
options
consider installing the wall through the floor
system directly on the foundation. See the
alternate first floor installation on page 78.

The SSTB is designed for maximum performance
as an anchor bolt for Wood Strong-Wall
shearwalls.
Extensive SSTB testing has been done to determine
the design load capacity at a common application,
the garage stem wall.
SPECIAL FEATURES:
Rolled threads for higher tensile capacity.
Offset angle reduces side-bursting,
provides more concrete cover.
Stamped embedment line aids installation.
Configuration results in minimum
rebar interference.
MATERIAL: ASTM F1554 Grade 36
FINISH: None. May be ordered hot-dip galvanized;
contact Simpson Strong-Tie.
INSTALLATION:
Install the SSTB per plan view detail shown on this page.
Unless otherwise noted, do NOT install where: (a) a horizontal cold joint
exists within the embedment depth between the slab and foundation wall
or footing beneath, unless provisions are made to transfer the load, or
the slab is designed to resist the load imposed by the anchor; or (b) slabs
are poured over concrete block foundation walls.
Nuts and washers are not supplied with the SSTB; install standard nuts,
couplers and/or washers as required. On HDG SSTB anchors, chase the
threads to use standard nuts or couplers or use overtapped products in
accordance with ASTM A563 (Simpson NUT-OST or CNW-OST).

The PAB anchor bolt is a versatile new cast-in-place
anchor bolt ideal for high-tension-load applications.
It can be used as an alternate to the SSWAB in
stemwall applications with SSWHSR_KT for
anchor installation into the footing. It features a
plate washer at the embedded end sandwiched
between two fixed heavy hex nuts and a head
stamp for easy identification after the pour.
Available in diameters for both Wood
and Steel Strong-Wall
shearwalls and in
lengths from 6" to 36" (in 6" increments)
Intermediate lengths available contact
Simpson Strong-Tie
Available in standard and high-strength steel
Head stamp contains the No Equal sign,
diameter designation and an HS on
high-strength rods
MATERIAL: Standard Steel Fu = 58 ksi
High-Strength Steel (up to 1" dia.) Fu = 120 ksi
FINISH: None.
How to specify and order:
When calling out PAB anchor bolts, substitute the desired
length for the XX in the Root Model Number.
For a 1"x20" anchor bolt, the model number would be
PAB8-20 (or PAB8H-20 for high strength).
