Gypsum board Allowable shear
Gypsum board Allowable shear
(OP)
I am reviewing the lateral strength of a mechanical enclosure that is comprised of light gauge stud walls with (2) ½" sheets of gypsum board on both faces. IBC table 2306.4.5 provides values for allowable shear forces for wood assemblies, but not light gauge metal. Does anyone know if these values are acceptable to be applied to light gauge steel framing?
