Stitch Nailing

Stitch Nailing

Stitch Nailing

(OP)
When designing the stitch nailing for doubled 2x's (where used at abutting shearwall panels), is the design load used to calculated the required stitch nailing simply the shearwall capacity.

Any comments are appreciated...........

Yes. Ed-zakery.

thanks- what about at holdowns. Perhaps, I should determine
tension due to O.T. moment and compare this to shrwall capacity...then design for controlling.  Currently I have some HD with through bolting and some with the Simpson screws (eg PHD's).

I don't understand your most recent post.

RE: Stitch Nailing

(OP)
Ah---let me try again.  My first post had to do with stitch nailing at abutting shrwall panels, but now I'm wondering if the stitch nailing of a dbl 2x at a shrwall "endpost" would be subjected to additional demands.........i.e.due to overturning forces in the shrwall chord.  
Any thoughts are appreciated.

RE: Stitch Nailing

Not really-the holddown fasteners, whether nails, bolts, or "SDS" screws used with the PHD-type hold downs- they "grab" both studs.
