       A shear wall is a wall that is designed to resist shear, the lateral force that causes the bulk of damage in earthquakes. Many building codes mandate the use of such walls to make homes safer and more stable, and learning about them is an important part of an architectural education. Architects are obliged to think about these and other safety features when they design a structure so that they can accommodate the walls to make the structure sound while also aesthetically pleasing.
