ABSTRACT:
A building wall system comprises spaced, parallel exterior and interior walls formed from elongated stacked wooden beam members having opposite ends received in vertical channels secured to vertical elongate wooden supports extending upwardly from a sub-floor or bottom plate. Upper end portions of the vertical supports are connected together by a top connecting chord extending between the exterior and interior walls. A top plate is secured to uppermost stacked beams to complete the wall structure. A space defined between the top plate and top chord located therebelow allows for settlement of the stacked wooden exterior and interior beams to occur after constructions without the top plate descending into destructive contact with the top connecting chord. The channels are either straight or ribbed channels and wooden connecting structures connected to allowing for settling of the stacked wooden beams are also disclosed.
