Abstract:
Joints for constructing a shear wall. The joints include a least an intermediate base joint, and a combination ceiling and floor joint. Each joint includes a bracket, a track wall, an optional base late, a stud, and at least two diagonal braces. The bracket is integrally formed with the shear wall, attached the shear wall to a substrate and prevents uplift of the shear wall. The bracket includes a base from which a pair of side walls upwardly extend. The track wall includes a base from which a pair of side walls upwardly extend, functions as sole and top plates, and sits attachingly in the bracket. The stud extends attachingly from the bracket. The optional base plate, when present, sits attachingly in the bracket and distributes load of the stud. The at least two diagonal braces extend attachingly diagonally outwardly from the pair of side walls of the bracket, respectively.
