Span Rating and Allowable Shear Tables

Span Rating and Allowable Shear Tables

Span Rating and Allowable Shear Tables

(OP)
Why does the IBC Table 2306.2.1(1) include allowable shear values for nominal panel thicknesses of only 19/32 and less.

Take for example a floor with MPC wood floor joists at 24"o/c. Based on the allowable spans Table 2304.7(3) the min nominal panel thickness would be 23/32 which is greater than the maximum thickness provided in the allowable shear tables. Are the values provided for 19/32 to be used in this case? Is there no appreciable increase in allowable shear above 19/32?

I'm hoping I am missing something obvious here. Thank you.

RE: Span Rating and Allowable Shear Tables

Probably just what has been tested and rated.
