A shear wall does two things. It acts as a brace that will not allow the wall to lay down Accordion style. It also acts as a barrier to projectiles in a high wind situation. A shear wall is an INTERIOR wall that is lined one side with plywood, from exterior wall to exterior wall.

What is the coupled shear wall?
The multistorey shear wall will opening are called coupled shear wall. these can be idealised by a frame with infinite joints. the coupled is thus represented as a frame accept.

What stress is responsible for each fault?
The type of stress responsible for each fault ( Normal, Reverse, Sinistral, And Dextral) is shear. These four types of fault all are apart or not connected. Shear is also a way to say apart or not connected because you are pulling two things apart so they are separated. The same thing goes for the fault this is why the answer is shear.

When you will say the wall is shear wall in masonry?
If the wall is subjected to shear forces due to horizontal loading, it becomes a shear wall whether it is a masonry or a concrete wall.

What is the difference between shear wall and load bearing wall?
A "load-bearing" wall is typically defined as a wall supporting any vertical load in addition to its own weight. A shear wall transfers lateral loads from a roof, ceiling or floor diaphragm to a foundation or other element. Although a shear wall might not carry gravity loads from roof or floor forces, it can still be considered load-bearing as the lateral forces induce a rotational, or overturning moment in-plane with the wall, which results in vertical reactions at the boundaries of the wall. These forces are in addition to the shear, or sliding forces induced in the wall. {Building plans examiner response}

Is a wall made of load bearing blocks a shear wall?
Such a wall may, or may not, be a shear wall. The fact that a wall is of block, in and of itself, does not make a wall either a shear wall or a load-bearing one. Wood frame or metal studded walls can be either load-bearing or shear walls or both based on how they are put up. The key to determining whether a wall is, or should be, a shear wall starts from building codes such as the IBC (International Building Code.) Shear walls are designed to take the lateral stress without collapsing. A prime example of such stress is high winds against the sides of a structure. In shear walls, extra bracing is installed to make the wall able to withstand the added anticipated stress. Bracing can take various forms such as plywood sheathing sheets fastened against the studs, installing metal cross-type braces to the unfinished studs, and so forth. If you look at a typical interior studded wall and see no bracing, that tells you that that wall is not a shear wall. Generally under the Codes, all exterior walls should be installed as shear walls. Don't forget, also, that different jurisdictions may require different levels or enhancements of bracing. For example, Florida has higher requirements than other states so to have structures that are better able to withstand hurricane-force wind loads. Earthquake areas also have increased levels of performance required due to the loads that are applied against a structure "laterally" as is the case in any earthquake. Although many people think that structures, bridges, etc. collapse in earthquakes from "vertical" ground movements, that is not the case at all. "Lateral" movements are the issue with quake damage.
