Wood Roof Diaphragm on Cold-Form steel Trusses

Wood Roof Diaphragm on Cold-Form steel Trusses

(OP)
I don't recall engineering wood roof sheathing on cold-form steel trusses.

Does anyone have a reference for diaphragm and shear table similar to NDS?

Can i simply substitute TEK screws for nails provided they have greater shear?

Any (other) suggestions?

Thank you!

AISI S213, North American Standard for Cold-Formed Steel Framing - Lateral Design, has a chapter on diaphragm design with tables for wood sheathing on cold formed steel framing. It can be downloaded at http://www.cfsei.org/publications.
