Ok, so I need to calculate the capacity of wood framed shear walls clad in 2 plies of 1/2" gypsum board on each side of the wall. These are interior shear walls between condo units. I had specified 5/8" plywood on one side. The architect wants me to consider the capacity of the 4 plies (total) of gyp board. But I can't find anything which really helps me here. All the tables I can find are one ply on one side of the wall.
can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks
