Wood GWB or WSP Shear Walls
Wood GWB or WSP Shear Walls
(OP)
Is there any guidance somewhere for shear capacities of Wood GWB or WSP shear walls with resilient channels?

Give and take is a good thing, particularly because we are not getting enough detail in arch progress drawings earlier in the process. Lesson learned to ask ahead of time.

Unfortunately, sandwiching the channels between GWB and WSP directly attached to the studs also neutered the acoustical performance of the resilient channels. As such, it's tough to have one face of the wall be both the shear panel and the RC acoustical barrier simultaneously. Architects often don't pick up on that.
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.

I reached out to Woodworks, but heard nothing yet. I suspect they will say the same as Triangled et al.
