    Report 154 - Wood Structural Panel Shear Walls, John R. Tissell, 1993 from APA, the Engineered Wood Association. A large number of shear walls have been tested since Laboratory Report 105, Plywood Shear Walls, was published by APA – The Engineered Wood Association in 1965. This report summarizes those tests, and also includes unblocked and double-sided shear walls, and panels over gypsum sheathing. Shear walls fabricated with staples as fasteners, walls with metal framing and the effect of stud spacing and stud width are also investigated.
