Does anyone know of a manual for design guidance for SIP panels? Thanks.
When was the last time you drove down the highway without seeing a commercial truck hauling goods?

Obviously, the manufacturer would have to pay for these tests or they do not exist. If the manufacturer does not have an ICBO report, I either steer then to one who does, or recommend they seek structural engineering services elsewhere, politely of course.

I really hate using SIPS merely because each manufacturer is different and none of them ever want to give upfront help unless they have a contract in hand. This leaves us to randomly choosing one and using the details in their binder. ICBO reports as stated above are good too.
