wood stud wall with opening
wood stud wall with opening
(OP)
I have to design the (seismic) strengthening of a wood stud wall. The wall is 11’x 8’ with an opening at the center of 3’ x 4’. I don’t know how to compute the tension forces on the reinforcing straps located at top and bottom of the opening. The total shear force is 3000lbs.

Is that an 11' long by 8' tall wall and a 3' long by 4' tall opening?
