T111 Sheathing
T111 Sheathing
(OP)
Hi,
I would like to have some opinions regarding the use of T111 sheathing in shear walls. Also, what shear design values would be appropriate for use with T111?
Thanks in advance.

The advantage to T1-11 is that you get your code structural strength (if code rated) and siding at the same time rather than using OSB or Ply CDX for structural and then siding over it for protection. The disadvantage is T1-11 tends to split and crack from exposure much more than many siding products. Advantages: Installed as part of the framing process; inexpensive; solid, can be stained or painted. Disadvantages: The disadvantage is T1-11 tends to split and crack from exposure much more than siding. Limited styles; fairly high maintenance; some feel that it has a "cheap look".
15 years ago there was litigation against GP fiberboard T1-11 that soured many peoples opinion of T1_11 in the residential market.
