Wall panel arounds Shearwall
Wall panel arounds Shearwall
(OP)
I have come across a design (in southern california) where shearwalls (3/8" struc I plywood)have been called out around the building. Shearwall have not been called out in some locations (where width is smaller than 3 feet). What material is normally used at these locations as fill?
Thank you
Thank you

How old is your building? City of Los Angeles requires 1/2" minimum thick plywood with minimum 4 plys for a long time. IF it is new construction, please consider NOT using 3/8".
