Wood Frame Shearwalls
Wood Frame Shearwalls
(OP)
I am looking for values and design considerations for un-bloked wood shearwalls.
When was the last time you drove down the highway without seeing a commercial truck hauling goods?

RE: Wood Frame Shearwalls
However, I have an article that discusses some research on this very topic. It says that you can take the value for a blocked shear wall, with fasteners spaced 4" oc, and divide by 2 to get the value for an unblocked shear wall with fasteners spaced 6" oc. This assumes studs are spaced 16" oc.

I wish IBC shearwall design was more consistent between metal studs, plywood shearwalls, and gypsum.
