2. Shear wall - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shear_wall

   A typical timber shear wall consists of braced panels in the wall line, constructed using structural plywood sheathing, specific nailing at the edges, and supporting framing. A shear wall is an element of a structurally engineered system that is designed to resist in- plane lateral forces, typically wind and seismic loads.

3. Girt - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Girt

   In architecture or structural engineering, a girt, also known as a sheeting rail, is a horizontal structural member in a framed wall. Girts provide lateral support to the wall panel, primarily to resist wind loads. [citation needed] A comparable element in roof construction is a purlin.

4. Framing (construction) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Framing_(construction)

   Wall framing in house construction includes the vertical and horizontal members of exterior walls and interior partitions, both of bearing walls and non-bearing walls. . These stick members, referred to as studs, wall plates and lintels (sometimes called headers), serve as a nailing base for all covering material and support the upper floor platforms, which provide the lateral strength along a

5. Post (structural) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post_(structural)

   Timber framing is a general term for building with wooden posts and beams. The term post is the namesake of other general names for timber framing such as post-and-beam, post-and-girt construction and more specific types of timber framing such as Post and lintel, post-frame, post in ground, and ridge-post construction.

6. Tie (engineering) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tie_(engineering)

   Similar to a French cleat, a Z-Clip allows for the installation of wall panels without screwing into the front of the panels. The clips provide a secure mount for wall panels, partitions, frames, cabinets, and more. Once installed, clips wedge together to lock panels in place. To disengage panels, simply lift and remove.

7. Flitch beam - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flitch_beam

   A flitch beam (or flitched beam) is a compound beam used in the construction of houses, decks, and other primarily wood-frame structures. Typically, the flitch beam is made up of a vertical steel plate sandwiched between two wood beams, the three layers being held together with bolts. In that common form it is sometimes referenced as a steel ...
