Design, Fabrication, and Installation of Engineered Panelized Walls: Two Case Studies

Two panelized wall systems are evaluated in terms of process of design, fabrication, and installation at two case study sites in high wind and earthquake-prone regions of the United States. In addition, portions of walls constructed with each panelized system are tested in the laboratory with respect to system resistance to lateral or in-plane shear (racking) loads from wind and seismic forces. The reports provide invaluable insights to the application advantages and issues related to the continued adoption and expansion of panelized wall systems in residential and light commercial construction.
