Shearwall Holdown on a Discontinous Lateral System.
Shearwall Holdown on a Discontinous Lateral System.
(OP)
Hello Guys;
I am designing a two story Single Family Dwelling. The second floor has a 3'-0" projection out of the first floor. I have designed my shearwall, but I need to know how to strap it, I usually use an MST but in this case, I do not have where to strap it to.
Attached is a sketch, any ideas?
Thanks

Make sure the double 2X12's can take the uplift in bending and shear, and also provide the same str4ap at the connection of the double 2X12's to the 2X bearing wall below, and to the foundation.

Something similar to the attached file.

I think I missed the point here.
I should have read the title of the post a little more carefully.
