The Simpson Strong-Wall® Shearwall Selector is a program that selects the proper Wood or Steel Strong-Wall® for a particular framing and foundation application for engineered designs.

It is updated to the latest information in our catalogs for engineered design, Strong-Wall® Shearwalls (C-SW09) and Cold-Formed Steel Connectors (C-CFS10). This reflects our code listings under the 2009 IBC/IRC for both Steel Strong-Wall shearwalls (ESR-1679) and Wood Strong-Wall shearwalls (ESR-1267).
