A __________ is a vertical element that resists lateral forces in the plane of the wall through shear and bending. Such a wall acts as a beam cantilevered out of the ground or foundations, and part of its strength derives from its depths. Examples are the interior wall of a multi-storey building, enclosing stairways, elevator shafts and mechanical chases which are mostly sliding and run the entire height of the building.
