Wall Interface Detail
Engineering Verification
Hello,
We would like to ask you if you can verify our structural engineering detail for the walls of a single-story residential construction. The house is on slab on grade, and we are building using 4'x9' wall panels. These are 2x6 lumber framed panels with a 24" on center stud. Please see the concept document attached.
Our question is - is the panel-wall design structurally sound? We are using a top plate for shear stabilization of adjacent panels. Adjacent panels are fastened together using nails or screws.
Thanks, Marcin
