STRUCTURAL CONNECTION SYSTEM ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A structural connection system for resisting uplift loads on the shear walls for each level of a wood framed structure includes anchors for each level. The system, employed at least at the lateral ends of the shear walls, compressively restrains the shear walls against upward movement. The anchors, which are verti- cally aligned, are coupled to one another through tie rods. A tie rod connects the anchor for the bottom floor to a foundation anchor embedded in the foundation. The anchors and tie rods are positioned between pairs of closely spaced vertical framing elements, such as studs. Uplift loads for each level are transferred to the foundation through the connection system. This eliminates any accumulation of uplift loads from level to level.
