TJ®-SHEAR PANEL
Shear Panels save lives and minimize home damage.
We know from forensics and the historic performance of
wood frame homes during earthquakes and hurricanes
that wood shear panels save lives and minimize
home damage. The TJ®-Shear panel has captured this
performance in a pre-built panel with narrow widths
(high aspect ratio) that allows you greater architectural
freedom.
The TJ®-Shear panel installs quickly and simply.
Plus, it incorporates all of the unique advantages of
TimberStrand® LSL—helping to minimize bowing,
shrinking, and twisting—making it the product of choice
for specifiers and engineers.

safety, see the TJ®-Shear panel Balanced Design

LIFE SAFETY DESIGN
Damping is the ability of the shear wall to remove lateral load or energy in a controlled, predictable manner. Panels with damping characteristics act like the shock absorbers in your
car—absorbing energy during movement. TJ®-Shear panels dampen energy similar to site-built shear walls, helping to ensure consistent, controlled performance during seismic events.
Ductility is the measure of a member’s ability to resist loads even while experiencing large movements that are outside the elastic range of the shear panel, like those caused by earthquakes. This attribute helps increase safety by assisting the structure to
remain standing during large displacements. The TJ®-Shear panel has excellent ductility in a reduced wall width while performing similarly to standard-size, site-built shear walls.
The allowable load is the amount of force a shear wall can withstand during a lateral event, such as an earthquake or hurricane. This measure is determined using information from a “backbone
curve” that includes load-carrying capacity and displacement limitations. Allowable loads are based on empirical tests and follow industry and ICC-accepted methods (AC 130).
Stiffness is a measure of the deflection of a member under allowable loads—the stiffer a wall or panel is, the less it will deflect under load. Ideally, a wall is stiff enough to resist lateral loads and avoid excessive damage
to finishes, windows, and other building elements, and yet should be flexible enough to avoid collecting too much energy and failing prematurely. The stiffness of TJ®-Shear panels is similar to site-built shear walls which help balance stiffness in the structure.
TJ®-Shear Panel Balanced DesignThe outstanding performance of TJ®-Shear panels comes from a balanced design
approach. As with any traditional wood shear wall, four critical performance measures
must each be maximized without compromising the performance of the others.
R Factor The response modification factor—the “R” factor—describes the ability of a structural element to perform
compatibly with the surrounding structure. The R factor has three main components: ductility, damping, and
redundancy. These properties allow earthquake design loads to be reduced to a
manageable level.
Typically, it is not economical to design residential
structures to resist maximum earthquake forces
without damage. When design seismic forces are
beyond the elastic range of the resisting elements in a
structure, these elements should be designed
to significantly deform (ductility) and
effectively dissipate energy (damping)
without collapse. Based on historical
performance, the redundancy of
structural elements in residential
construction enhances the structure’s
ability to withstand seismic forces.
It is important for TJ®-Shear panels to have the
same R factor as conventionally built, wood, shear walls.
Having the same R factor allows designers to mix and match site-
built and prefabricated shear panels in a structure. This provides the
greatest flexibility and cost savings while keeping life safety in mind.
Multiple shear panels provide greater redundancy too. All this allows the designer
to develop only one set of design loads for an entire structure.
More About “Balance”
All TJ®-Shear panel design properties are closely
related. If one property is changed, the change affects
all other properties. For example, raising the allowable
load is likely to decrease drift capacity (the amount of
deflection at failure) and ductility, reduce redundancy,
and diminish seismic compatibility with the structure.
TJ®-Shear panels are engineered with carefully
designed connections and proprietary engineered-
wood components to produce the best property
balance for resisting seismic loads in residential
structures. With all of the advantages of traditional,
site-built shear walls, plus a higher aspect ratio,
TJ®-Shear panels allow more openings per wall and
give you greater design flexibility than any other
product on the market.
LIFE SAFETY DESIGN
When high seismic forces cause a structure to deform beyond its elastic range into its inelastic range, serious failure can result. Northridge earthquake, 1994.

General Assumptions for TJ®-Shear Panels TJ®-Shear panels are code-evaluated per ICC-ES ESR-1281 and meet the
acceptance criteria for prefabricated wood shear panels (ICC-ES AC 130). They may be used as an alternate braced-wall panel in accordance with UBC section 2320.11.4 and IBC section 2308.9.3.1.
TJ®-Shear panels have design values consistent with typical wood-framed construction. Use the following ICC-ES-accepted values when designing with the prevailing code in your area: 1997 UBC: R-value = 5.5; Ωo = 2.8 2003 IBC: R-value = 6.5; Ωo = 3; Cd = 4
Install products according to this guide. Modifications to this product and associated systems or changes in the installation methods should only be made by a qualified registered professional. Altered installation procedures and the performance of modified products are the sole responsibility of the designer. Refer to ICC-ES ESR-1281 for further information.
The building shall be designed in accordance with the appropriate building code and meet local, state, and federal requirements. Verify design requirements with the local building department. Concrete design remains the responsibility of the designer or specifier.
TJ®-Shear panels are part of the overall lateral-force-resisting system of the structure. Design of the building’s lateral-force-resisting system—including a complete load path necessary to transfer lateral-forces from the structure to the ground—is the responsibility of the designer or specifier.
Use only code-minimum connections to attach sheathing or siding. If the connector will penetrate more than 1½" into the rail, place connectors as follows: – No more than 1½" from panel edge. – Only within the center ½" of the inside rail on a 32" or 48" panel.

RAISED FLOOR KIT INSTALLATION
General Notes DO NOT modify the Raised Floor Kit. For floor assemblies of non-standard heights
(floor panels thicker than ¾", sill plates thicker than 1½", or floor joists different than standard TJI® joist depths), adjust the total assembly height with shims at the top of the TJ®-Shear panel. Contact your iLevel representative for details.
Place the Raised Floor Kit directly on the concrete. DO NOT place on top of the sill plate.
The Raised Floor Kit may interrupt rim board continuity; design connections as needed.
Attach floor joists to the RFK block using TJI® joist hangers. Alternatively, joists may rest on the remaining sill plate if adequate bearing is available.
Notch floor panels around RFK block and TJ®-Shear panel. Support the floor panel with a ledger attached directly to the block or TJ®-Shear panel (depending on elevation requirements) to accommodate vertical loads and lateral load transfer. Contact your Technical Representative for details.
Make sure that the bottom of the TJ®-Shear panel is in direct contact with the top shear transfer plate of the Raised Floor Kit. Compressible materials in this area will affect the performance of the assembly.

Portal Frame Header Design Header depth must be minimum of 9¼" and a maximum of 18".
Header design should consider vertical and lateral load combinations. Design header as a simple span with no end fixity. When lateral loads are present, add the induced forces shown in the table below.
The TJ®-Shear panel portal may use a header stiffness, Kbeam, of 90 lbs/in. to 4,000 lbs/in.
Kbeam is defined as:
where E = beam modulus of elasticity (psi) b = beam width (in.) d = beam depth (in.) L = beam clear span (in.) (18'-6" maximum)
Kbeam = Ebd3 12L3
(1) Beam forces induced when the maximum allowable in-plane shear load for portal panels is applied. (2) The maximum forces shown may be reduced linearly if the applied lateral shear load is less than the allowable
in-plane shear load.(3) For double portal systems, the moment decreases linearly from maximum at beam end to zero at mid-span. For single
portal systems, the moment decreases linearly from maximum at the TJ®-Shear panel end to zero at the column end. This induced moment must be included when designing the portal header.

(1) Value may be increased by a load duration factor.(2) 205 plf, if panel is not part of a portal frame system.(3) 110 plf, if panel is not part of a portal frame system.
General Notes Applied vertical load per rail in the table is the load that acts in combination with the out-of-plane lateral loads.
Verify that the maximum allowable vertical load per rail has not been exceeded. See table above.
Table is based on: – TJ®-Shear panels used in a standard application or on a Raised Floor Kit and installed according to the details
in this guide. – Wall deflection of L/240. – Maximum header depth of 18" Portal system application.
(1) Maximum allowable axial loads with no out-of-plane lateral loads applied. For combined loading, see the table below. Vertical loads are based on shear-panel capacity; adjustments may be necessary for concrete-bearing design based on Fc' of 2,500 psi and the panel’s proximity to the edge. Refer to ACI 318-02, Section 10.17 for guidance.
(2) Maximum axial compression that can be applied directly over a rail in combination with the full design shear.
(3) Maximum axial compression that can be applied directly over a rail when no lateral loads are present. Allowable load may be increased by a load-duration factor, up to a maximum of 8,000 lbs. per rail.
(4) Axial compression for portal-system panel rails may not exceed 8,000 lbs. per panel.(5) Column values are for 3½" x 3½" 1.5E TimberStrand® LSL. Axial compression may be
increased by a load-duration factor, up to a maximum of 10,500 lbs.

Shear Capacities for TJ®-Shear Panel Used in Garage Portals (For use with sizing tables on pages 14 and 15)
Ensuring continuous lateral load paths is the responsibility of the designer. To transfer shear load across header joints,
use horizontal steel straps on the front and back of the header joint, or use a double top plate with sufficient
lap-splice length and nailing to resist load.
