Log home shear walls
Log home shear walls
(OP)
It's been several years since I did a log home lateral analysis; and I'm trying to find which R and Cd to use. The building department referred me to the ICC 400, but it seems to be silent on these factors. Can anyone point me in the right direction, thanks!

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.

I like to debate structural engineering theory -- a lot. If I challenge you on something, know that I'm doing so because I respect your opinion enough to either change it or adopt it.

These structures can have vertical pins as well as end rods to help with the shear as well as overturning. Depends a lot on the manufacturer and type of joinery.
