real world examples of shearwall or diaphragm failures for wind
real world examples of shearwall or diaphragm failures for wind
(OP)
I am in the midst of a detailed design spredsheet for 1-2 story structures for high wind areas and am need of some inspiration for actual failures....apart from having no uplift tiedowns at all and no gable end bracing...I see so many old structures still standing and can't stop thinking of all the conservativeness and redundancy we ignore in our structures....

Unfortunately, it is hard to put a design number on the redundancy.

Were they actual diaphragm shear failures or just an uplift failure?
