2012 IBC Wood Structural Panel Diaphragms
(OP)
Previous codes have had Wood Structural Panel Diaphragm allowables for nails based on spacing and blocking. In the new 2012 IBC I am only seeing values for staples in Table2306.2(1). Does anyone know what's going on? Did they pull the nailing allowables out and is there a different reference now to get these values from? Maybe in the newest NDS? Thanks for any input.

As EOR's we should take the responsibility to design our structures to support the components we allow in our design per that industry standards.

The years maybe incorrect but yes, 2012 IBC defers to the NDS now.
