We'll demonstrate the three forces that wind or seismic exerts on the building, and we'll show you how shear walls on either side, the roof, and even the floor system help to distribute those forces. We'll also explain what racking, base shear, and overturning are and why preventing them is crucial in preventing building collapse. We'll show you how to transfer the inherent rigidity of wood structural panels to the wall to make it more resistant to lateral forces, and we'll discuss the different types of wood sheathing you can use to achieve this. Join us to learn more about shear walls and how they can help protect your building from natural disasters.

Thanks for watching! Oh and another takeaway, if you use a drone for commercial work, you need to be part107 certified. Commercial work includes social media like YouTube if you plan to make an income off of that. I watched a video about this last May and then purchased the Part 107 Course https://sso.teachable.com/secure/245841/checkout/1320802/bundle-remote-pilot-plus-maneuvers?coupon_code=FRAMERS100&affcode=245841_0eauthdo I studied and learned for 1 month and then took my test. I scored a 95%, which is a testament to how good Greg and the crew over there teach. That link will save you $100 off the course and support this channel. Some of the links below are affiliate links.
