Wood - Segmented Shear Wall - Double Sheathing
Wood - Segmented Shear Wall - Double Sheathing
(OP)
Per IBC the shear value using the perforate wall design method may not exceed 490plf, or for wind 1.4 x 490 = 686plf. If I have double sheathing can I double that value?

But from what I see in the AF&PA SDPWS-2005 (referenced in the IBC 2006?) and the AF&PA SDPWS-2008 (referenced in the IBC 2009 & 2012) I would say no.

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.

RE: Wood - Segmented Shear Wall - Double Sheathing
I'm rebuilding a wall to match an original condition and finding that it doesn't come close to working. Makes sense to me but the architect doesn't understand that 'it doesn't work' when it was standing just fine for 100 years. I'm trying to squeeze every ounce out of it to get it to work.
