Strong-Wall® SB Shearwall Trimmable Shearwalls for Narrow Wall Spaces Simpson Strong-Tie introduces the Strong-Wall® SB, a prefabricated wood shearwall that provides enhanced design flexibility and greater lateral-force resistance for a broad range of applications. In areas susceptible to seismic activity or high winds, the Strong-Wall SB shearwall provides structural support comparable to steel shearwalls in narrow panel widths. The design flexibility of the Strong-Wall SB panels enables them to be used in multi-story structures at garage portals and other large openings. FEATURES: •• Field trimmable for custom applications and rake walls •• Code Listed – ICC-ES ESR-2652 and City of L.A. RR25730 •• Provides easy-to-use fastening surfaces and drill zones
