Wood shear wall and pre-approved panels
Wood shear wall and pre-approved panels
(OP)
I have a plan check correction about using the wood shear walls and pre-approved panels such as strong walls on the same line of resistance.
The plan checker believes that "the combinations should not be used as the stiffness between them is unknown and questionable."
I believe the question to be far-fetched although I believe the question to be somewhat valid.
Am I wrong here?

Personally, I do not know what the reviewer is talking about, because for shorter walls, the nailing has to be increased to get the same load, all based on the h/d ratios anyway. What's the difference?
