wood framed shear walls - sheathing panels applied vertically
wood framed shear walls - sheathing panels applied vertically
(OP)
Do the values in the 2008 SDPWS Table 4.3A Nominal Unit Shear Capacities for Wood-Frame Shear Walls vary if your sheathing runs vertically instead of horizontally? The shear walls I am considering are framed at 24"o.c. and sheathing is spec'd as 15/32 APA Rated Sheathing. I haven't found any information indicating a required sheathing direction associated with the shear values given in Table 4.3A.
Thanks
Thanks

However, for GSB and GWB, horizontal is normal.

Is there any code requirement for the panels to be staggered when applied vertically? Thanks!!
