3x Tongue and groove diaphragm
(OP)
What are the 2006 IBC allowable stress wind and seismic diaphragm design values for 3x6 T & G decking? It will be nailed to 4x12 floor joists at 30" o.c. A diagonal orientation is possible but not preferred. Wind controls teh design; v(asd,wind) = 205 plf. The previous posts on a closed thread were in 2004. Thanks - Any input is much appreciated!

Professionally speaking, I would not use such a diaphragm. It's too flexible.

Which is the ANSI / AF&PA SDPWS-2008 - Special Design Provisions for Wind and Seismic standard with Commentary covers materials, design, and construction of wood members, fasteners, and assemblies to resist wind and seismic forces. Engineered design of wood structures to resist wind or seismic forces is either by allowable stress design (ASD); or load and resistance factor design (LRFD). The most notable new provisions of the 2008 Wind and Seismic standard include criteria for wood structural panels designed to resist combined shear and uplift from wind.
