Perforated shear wall, not 8ft or 10ft
Perforated shear wall, not 8ft or 10ft
(OP)
For perforated shear wall design, The IBC gives adjusted shear values in table 2305.3.7.2. The table has two wall heights, 8ft, and 10ft.
What if the walls are not 8ft or 10ft???
Am I missing something?

Thanks. It was actually the APA "Diaphragm and shear walls design guide" that first refernced me to the IBC method. The APA gives some examples of the perforated shear wall, but uses the IBC table!
Thanks again
