Seismic Resistance of Structural sheathing to Light gauge studs...
(OP)
Is there an AISI book that has a table that specs allowable shear loads for the different stud gauges and sheathing thickness. I need lateral load resistance from structural sheathing nailed to light gauge steel studs but I cant find an allowable load table. I have the AISI CFS design manual and the NASDCS and its commentary but I dont have AISI-Lateral...
Im in California so these values need to be acceptable for seismic loads.
Will the AISI - Lateral provide these tables? Do I need to buy it?
Thanks for your time!

I don't think the reports are current. But, you might contact some pneumatic shot-pin manufactures to see if they have any information.
