Lateral Diaphragm values of 2x decking?
Lateral Diaphragm values of 2x decking?
(OP)
Hello,
I was wondering if anyone had diaphragm values for carrying shear with 2x decking? It would seem this should have been researched by someone at some point.
Thank you,
SeattleMike

Thank you for taking the time to write the post. I should clarify that I am talking about straight decking, not diagonal decking.
I have read through the AWC documents before, but didn't see any lateral shear values? Perhaps I am missing something?

There's a discussion of general procedures in Breyer's 'Design of Wood Structures' (5th ed) section 6.19, although it refers to the TCM for quantitative analysis.
