A framed shear wall has a pair of crossed tension straps passing through the studs that make up the shear wall. The straps are preferably rods and are preferably attached to upstanding plates installed at the corners of the wall. Each of two straps is preferably attached to an opposite side of the upstanding plate such that the straps do not interfere with each other where the straps cross. The straps preferably include threaded ends and the upstanding plates preferably have threaded receptacles sized to accept the threaded ends of the straps such that the straps can be tensioned before and/or after installation. In one embodiment, the upstanding plates are bolted through a bottom surface of the wall into a threaded anchor plate at floor level, and the threaded anchor plate is attached to a top of a wall on a floor below.

L'invention concerne un mur de contreventement encadré comprenant deux armatures de tension croisées passant à travers les poteaux constituant le mur de contreventement. Les armatures sont, de préférence, des tiges et sont, de préférence, fixées sur des plaques verticales installées au niveau des coins du mur. Chaque armature est, de préférence, fixée sur un côté opposé de la plaque verticale, de manière que les armatures n'interfèrent pas l'une avec l'autre quand elles se croisent. Les armatures comprennent, de préférence, des extrémités filetées et les plaques verticales comprennent, de préférence, des récipients filetés dimensionnés de manière à recevoir les extrémités filetées des armatures, afin que celles-ci puissent être mises sous tension avant et/ou après l'installation. Dans un mode de réalisation, les plaques verticales sont boulonnées à travers une surface inférieure du mur dans une plaque d'ancrage filetée au niveau du sol et celle-ci est fixée au sommet du mur à un étage inférieur.
