(OP)
For a stud wall with sheathing, I usually take the spacing between studs times the length for the trib area, compared to 1/3 width x length. Someone has told me they use the sheathing width times the length because the wind will end up being spread out over several studs and not just effect one. Which is correct?

A different case:
I believe that the tributary wind area on reinf. in a poured concrete wall would get spread over more of a width than it's spacing. This due to the stiffness of the concrete. This is the way I have always treated it. Anyone disagree?

I guess the same would apply for a concrete tilt panel.
