Why do you need a shearwall?

[@Kirsty-LeaSavage]

I'm a building design student and this was really well explained and informative. It gave me a visual of the things I was learning but couldn't picture. Thank you.

[@waseembessada7390]

sir, my professor tried to explain this in a couple of lectures I didn't understand him you explained it in a 8 of minutes and I got every word you said

[@arthurlin5170]

that's so true! guess our professors never constructed one of their designs

[@LightGesture]

It's awful, the state of the youth.

[@wenzhiquan]

I'm an interior architecture student and I wish we had more videos like this

[@CarterWilliamBrown]

I'm reading a relatively verbose textbook mentioning 'use of wood stud shear walls and plywood sheathing to provide resistance against lateral loading". I could understand what each of those things was independently (wood studs, plywood sheathing, resistance, lateral loads) but now I understand how they work together. No Diagram. This was a great video, great explanation. You've made this so clear and understandable.

[@arkitonik]

Very clear, short, concise and accurate description of shear walls.

[@sandyp3301]

I'm not an engineer or architect, but the collapse of Champlain tower has piqued my interest in shear walls and what they do. I want to thank you for the simple, clear explanation you have given regarding what a shearwall is and why it is needed and also for the visual aid.

[@josephk1798]

What an amazing father, instructor, and hombre:)

[@engineer_yulan]

so nobody gonna talk about the baby who peacefully listened to her dad lecturing about shear wall

[@devkartik]

WOW. I love demonstrations like these! Really appreciate it! Thank you so much!

[@BIKEMAN21]

i love people that value my time

[@B30pt87]

Wow. This is exactly what I needed to know! (Also, your Boop is VERY cute.) Great video - I'm off to look at your other videos.

[@dannyphan9587]

This made me feel really good about the house that we have just built. We paid extra to have extra plywood wrapped about the whole exterior. I guess every exterior wall is a shearwall. We have shearwalls inside as well. We live in California by the way.

[@robertgift]

Wonderful for you to share your teaching withe Boop!

[@dc-wp8oc]

Dean two questions: Shouldn't every exterior wall be a shear wall? What consideration (if any) should be applied to walls that contain garage doors?

[@davidderossi3689]

Very well explained,simple to the point. Good Job!

[@k283535]

Wonderful demonstration sir

[@MADKingR]

Thank you very much. I am replacing the siding of my house and was looking how I can reinforce the walls.

[@lilboy9525]

Great explanation! Wasn’t totally sure but you made it easy to understand. Thank you

[@asiimwemuhabuzimuhoozi3422]

I had no idea something so thin could be so strong😂. Thanks a lot. This was a brilliant video and I understood everything perfectly

[@steelhead1214]

Just went through 4 youtubes before yours. Yours was the only simple common sense explanation. It really is a very simple thing.... g whiz...

[@arashfarahvashi7014]

SIMPLY SIMPLE AND INFORMATIVE. WELL DONE MATE. EXCELLENT REGARDS

[@leomeilak6532]

The entire house is sheathed with plywood. Is That a shear wall? I know that it doesn’t have the nailing pattern or hold down but do you need the diagonal brace in this case?

[@Jaypark1113]

Such a clear explanation about the subject. Thank you.

[@Cando79]

Great video Dean. Very easy to understand and informative. Great video. Love to kid and fairy tale. Lol.

[@Cando79]

Loved the kid and fairy tale.

[@michaeljoseph6178]

can exterior T-31/32?? plywood siding be considered adequate for shear wall requirements ?

[@gl3862]

This is such a good video!! Thank you for sharing!!

[@Princessdianadrivingservice]

You did a fantastic job. Subscribed! Great job!

[@sunbabe72]

OMG THANK YOU! Excellent explanation.

[@kountryedge]

I have a 1900 Queen Anne and I have a small bathroom with a large walk-in closent next to it in the hallway on the 2nd floor. I removed the plaster and lath boards to just finding a typical frame without the angled board as you showed at the end of the video. So if my wall does not show any angled support beam, it will be okay to remove? This wall is 4' from the 1st main support structure inside the home (basement) and the other direction the floor joist go 8' to the exterior support. I have no idea if that makes any sense to you. I wish that I could show you images.

[@shimaalcarrim7949]

Outstanding demo & baby

[@indahpratiwi4308]

Excellent video, simply explained, thank you

[@trem876]

what's the difference between shear wall and a moment resisting frame?

[@lkdsamte4910]

"House doesn't normally jump up and down" 😂🤣🤣 Nice explanation!

[@workaccount1478]

[@lesliepatrick188]

Much better than my wife's explanation. Thank you.

[@suala10]

Thank you!!

[@benzin8665]

Does 2x4 strapping at 24" on centre add to the shear strength on a wall?

[@thesage1096]

you mean like horizontally ? ie. perpendicular to the studs ?

[@ding5821]
