Are there any published values for 1x T&G boards used as shear walls and roof diaphragms?
 
IBC 2009 has some values for diagonal sheathing boards. Check it out.
 
If you can get your hands on one, the older Douglas-Fir Use Book, I haved the 1958 edition in my hands, on pages 273 and 274 has some useful information for your application.
