I'm not familiar with the shear flow equation ...
RE: Nailing Pattern
Unit Shear = VQ/I. See any Materials Text
this will give you a force in pounds per inch length of your beam then you can use your nail capacity to calculate nail spacing.

The shear flow equation maybe be found in just about any decent mechanics of materials book.
RE: Nailing Pattern
Yes. Side-loaded - bearing only on one ply which is to be fastened to the others.

It is important to call out nail patterns. Your point is well taken regarding contractors not following your specification. Most recently I informed a contractor that my plans were not suggestive, but rather a directive. Since we all know builders are using pneumatic nails, it is not enough just to designate a penny weight of nail and spacing. I don't even say 8d common, box, sinker, etc anymore. I specify nails by diameter and length (0.131" x 3") that way they can use pneumatic nail, and are more likely to choose the right size.
