NDS requirement: Collectors for shear transfer shall be provided through the full length of the force-transfer shear wall.
I have seen straps above the opening(s) that run the entire length of the shear walls. I myself only provided straps long enough to distribute the force into the adjacent wall piers since that full length collector aforementioned is basically my double top plates. Am I correct in this assumption?
Thank you,
