Abstract: A modular vertical stacking load bearing wall and shoring panel includes a set of opposing columns elongated parallel to a vertical axis, each having a coupler. Each coupler includes an interior plate located in a horizontal plane substantially parallel to the vertical axis and the plate separates the coupler into two sections. A bottom track and a top track are attached between the columns. A top horizontal beam member is attached between the columns with its top surface located below the bottom edge of the coupler. A set of horizontal braces is attached perpendicularly between the columns and are spaced apart. Furring strips are attached to the top track, the bottom track and the horizontal braces. Fire safing material may be deposited in the coupler to promote fire resistance.
