County of Los Angeles Allowable Shear Limitations

[curtschultz]

County of Los Angeles does not allow more than 200 lbs./ft for 3/8" like the CBC allows. PC'r told me to refer to the County's code book, which I do not own and as an architect who doesn't do a lot for engineering don't want one.

Does anyone have the County of Los Angeles' allowable shear loads table I can get for a correction?

I guess I'm just getting too old. I don't know what the hell you are talking about. Allowable shear limitations? 200 pounds per foot for 3/8"? What is that all about?

And secondly, what is your SP Sched? Would you be totally offended if I asked you to translate all of that into English?

I think he is talking about shear wall allowable load for 3/8" plywood.

curtschultz, should should be able to find the latest copy of the LA County Code in a Library such as the Los Angeles Public Library or the Los Angeles Law Library.
