Evaluation of direct stucco-woodframe connectors for enhanced seismic performance
Observations of earthquake damage indicate that stucco shear walls often fail at the connection (staples/nails) between stucco lath and wood frame members. To improve the connection of stucco to wood frame, special devices called Shear-locks have been developed. Shear-locks provide a direct connecti...
