EXTERIOR WALL FRAMING

Exterior wall framing must be of adequate size and strength to support floor and roof loads. Walls must also resist lateral wind loads and, in some locations, earthquake forces. Top plates are doubled and lapped at corners and at bearing partition intersections to tie the building into a strong structural unit. A single top plate may be used where roof rafters or trusses bear directly above wall studs. In such cases adequate corner ties are required, particularly where non-structural sheathing is used.
