Shear transfer across a STC rated wall
Shear transfer across a STC rated wall
(OP)
There are double stud with cavity acoustic walls in a multi-unit residential timber framed building we are designing.
Due to lack of bracing walls we need to share the lateral loads between adjacent units.
Is there a recognised method to transfer the shear load across the wall without comprimising the acoustic performance too much?

What I really meant is transferring perpendicular load across the double stud wall at floor diaphragm level, while minimising acoustic bridging.
