This force is perpendicular to line c .
The rotational shear at the extreme outer fiber must be broken down into horizontal
and vertical components. The vertical and/or horizontal shear applied directly to the
joint must also be combined with the shear caused by rotation, as shown by the upper
left figure.

Vertical Shear Transfer (See Fig. 14.13)
The transfer of vertical shear at the joint can be accomplished as shown in the fig-
ure. Cripple studs should be installed above the header, and trimmer studs should
be installed below to resist the shears acting in both directions and to transfer them
into the pier section. If the nailing of the cripple studs above the header does not
have the capacity to resist shear acting in the upward direction, a tie strap can be
installed.
