Remarks

Different types of wall materials offer varying degrees of resistance to wind-induced lateral loads. Breaches in the wall can result in internal pressure buildup.

With respect to seismic performance, some wall forms can contribute to increasing the lateral-load capacity of a building, while others tend to act independently when shaken.
