Does anyone know where I can get allowable loads for plywood shearwalls with lightgage metal studs.  I see no point in using X bracing if plywood sheathing is to be used.  The IBC only list values with wood studs.

RE: Does anyone know where I can get al

ronster:  The IBC 2000, Section 2211.3 does provide for plywood sheathing on cold-formed steel studs.  See also Table 2211.1(1) for the shear values.

Thank you, I assumed incorrectly that it being plyWOOD sheathing that it wood still be in the wood section.
