IBC 2009-Wood shear wall aspect ratio

IBC 2009-Wood shear wall aspect ratio

(OP)
IBC 06 had this table @ 2305.3.4. But I couldn't find an aspect ratio table in 09. Was it moved or should we be using NDS?

RE: IBC 2009-Wood shear wall aspect ratio

Per the 2009 IBC Section 2305.1 "...designed and constructed in accordance with AF&PA SDPWS..." Look in the AF&PA SDPWS for the ratio information. It is a free view only download from http://www.awc.org/Standards/SDPWS.html.

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: IBC 2009-Wood shear wall aspect ratio

It is in the SDPWS. Most of this information is moving out of the IBC/IRC and into the reference material.
